The wife of Cūḷani-Brahmadatta, king of Kapila in the Pañcāla kingdom. She was a daughter of a poor woman in the village, and the king met her while on his wanderings disguised as a tailor, which disguise he assumed in order to find out news of the people for himself. She was given the name Ubbarī on the day of her marriage, and Cūḷani made her his chief queen. When the king died, she went to the cemetery day after day, lamenting for her dead husband and refusing to be comforted. One day the Bodhisatta, who was an ascetic in Himavā, noticed her with his divine-eye and appeared before her. Having heard her story, he pointed out to her that eighty-six thousand kings of Pañcāla, all bearing the name of Cūḷani-Brahmadatta, had been burnt in that very spot and that she had been the queen of them all. Thereupon, Ubbarī abandoned her grief and renounced the world. She developed thoughts of loving-kindness and in due course was reborn in the Brahma-world (Pv.32; PvA.160-8).

She is probably to be identified with the queen of Cūḷani-Brahmadatta, king of Pañcāla, mentioned in the Umaṅga Jātaka (J.vi.473, 475), in which case her original name was Nandā-devī. According to the scholiast (J.vi.473), Ubbarī is not a proper name but means any women of the court (orodha).
