Sundarī2

Person

바라문 수자따의 딸로, 아버지가 출가하자 어머니의 축복을 받아 자신도 세속 생활을 버리고 출가하여 아라한과를 얻었으며, 후에 사왓티로 가서 부처님 앞에서 자신의 깨달음을 선언했다

She was born in Bārāṇasī as the daughter of the brahmin Sujāta (9). When her father joined the Order at Mithilā and sent his charioteer home, Sundarī, with her mother’s consent, gave all away and joined the Order, attaining Arahantship in due course. Then one day, with the leave of her teacher, she left Bārāṇasī, accompanied by a large number of nuns, and, visiting the Buddha at Sāvatthi, uttered her “lion’s roar.”

Thirty-one world-cycles ago she was born in a clansman’s family, and seeing Vessabhū Buddha begging for alms, gave him a ladleful of food.

Fifty times she became the wife of a Cakkavatti. Thig.vss.326-332; ThigA.228 f.
