Uttarā3

Person

自らの美貌への慢心のためアーナンダに帰される長老偈の二偈で戒められたとされる在家女性信者で、これらの偈は実際にはアンバパーリーに魅了された者たちに向けたものだとする説もある。

In the Theragāthā two verses (Thag.vv.1020-1) are attributed to Ānanda, as having been spoken by him in admonition to a female lay disciple named Uttarā, who was filled with the idea of her own beauty. Some say, however, that these verses were spoken in admonition to those who lost their heads at the sight of Ambapāli. ThagA.ii.129.
