Suriyavaccasā
Personティンバルの娘でパンチャシカの想い人であったガンダッバの乙女で、仏陀を称える恋の歌によって彼女の心を射止め、その妻となった。本名はバッダーといい、「スリヤヴァッチャサー」はその輝くばかりの美貌を指す呼び名である。
A Gandhabba maiden, daughter of Timbaru.
When she went to dance before Sakka, Pañcasikha saw her and fell in love with her, but she favoured Mātali’s son Sikhandi.
Later she heard Pañcasikha sing love-songs in her honour, which also contained references to his deep attachment to the Buddha. This influenced her choice, and she became his wife (D.ii.258, 268 f).
Her personal name was Bhaddā. She was called Suriyavaccasā because of her bodily beauty (sarīrasampattiyā). DA.iii.704.
