Sumanā13

Person

Một trong bốn phụ nữ của Paṇṇakatanagara, những người vì dâng hoa cho một vị tỳ-khưu đi khất thực mà được tái sinh lên cõi Tāvatiṃsa với các cung điện liền kề nhau, người này mang tên theo loài hoa sumana mà bà đã dâng.

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.
