Sāmā5
PersonEine Frau aus einer Familie in Kosambī, die, betrübt über den Tod ihrer Freundin Sāmāvatī, fünfundzwanzig Jahre lang rang, bevor sie im Alter nach dem Hören einer Lehrrede die Arahantschaft erlangte.
She belonged to a family of Kosambī and left the world in distress on the loss of her friend, Sāmāvatī. For twenty-five years she was unable to gain self mastery, until, in her old age, she heard a discourse and won Arahantship.
Ninety-one world-cycles ago she was a kinnarī on the banks of the Candabhāgā. One day, while amusing herself in company of her friends, she saw Vipassī Buddha and worshipped him with salaḷa flowers (Thig.39-41; ThigA.45 f). She is evidently identical with Salaḷapupphikā of the Apadāna. Ap.ii.524.
