Uttamā2
Person拘萨罗国一位显赫婆罗门之女,闻佛说法后证得阿罗汉果,她与另一位同名比丘尼一样,毗婆尸佛时代同为槃头摩底城的女奴。
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
