Uttarā2

Person

舍卫城一位良家女子出身的阿罗汉比丘尼,闻钵吒左罗说法而出家,以不证悟誓不起座的决心而得解脱。

She was the daughter of a clansman’s family in Sāvatthi. Having heard Paṭācārā teach, she entered the Order and became an Arahant.

The Therīgāthā contains seven verses uttered by her after becoming an Arahant, the result of her determination not to leave the sitting posture until she had won emancipation. Later she repeated these verses to Paṭācārā. Thig.vv.175-81; ThigA.161-2.
