Sumanā13

Person

पण्णकतनगर की चार स्त्रियों में से एक, जो भिक्षाटन पर निकले एक भिक्षु को फूल चढ़ाने के कारण तावतिंस में सटे हुए महलों के साथ पुनर्जन्मी, इसका नाम उसके द्वारा चढ़ाए गए सुमन-पुष्पों पर रखा गया।

One of four women of Paṇṇakatanagara in Esikārattha. They saw a monk begging for alms, and one gave him a sheaf of indīvara-flowers, another a handful of blue lilies, another of lotuses, and the fourth some jasmine blossoms. They were all reborn in Tāvatiṃsa, their mansions (vimāna) adjoining each other.

Mahā-Moggallāna saw them and learnt their story, which is recorded in the Vimānavatthu as the story of the Caturitthivimānavatthu.

The last mentioned of the women, who offered sumana-flowers, was called Sumanā. Vv.iv.7; VvA.195 f.
