A yakkhinī, mother of Punabbasu and Uttarā. Once as she passed Jetavana at sunset looking for food, with her daughter on her hip and holding her son by his finger, she saw the assembly, intently listening to the Buddha’s discourse. She, too, hoping to get some benefit, listened quietly and with great earnestness, hushing her children to quietness. The Buddha taught in such a manner that both she and her son could understand, and at the end of the discourse they both became Stream-winner. She immediately got rid of her sad yakkha-state and obtained heavenly bliss, and took up her residence in a tree near the Buddha’s Fragrant Chamber.

Little Uttarā was too young to realise the Truth. S.i.210; SA.i.238-40; DA.ii.500 f.
