Uttamā2
PersonEine Therī, Tochter eines angesehenen Brahmanen aus Kosala, die nach einer Lehrrede des Buddha die Arahantschaft erlangte und ebenfalls zur Zeit des Buddha Vipassī eine Sklavin in Bandhumatī gewesen war
A therī. She was the daughter of an eminent Brahmin of Kosala. Having heard the Buddha teach during one of his tours, she left the world and soon won Arahantship. She, too, had been a slave girl in Bandhumatī in Vipassī’s time. One day, seeing an Arahant seeking alms, she gladly offered him cakes (Thig.vv.45-7; ThigA.49 f).
She is probably identical with Modakadāyikā of the Apadāna (ii.524 f).
Thig 3.2
