Uttarā3

Person

자신의 미모에 대한 자만심 때문에 아난다가 지었다고 전해지는 장로게 두 게송으로 훈계를 받은 재가 여신도로, 일부는 이 게송이 실제로는 암바빨리에게 매료된 이들을 향한 것이라고 말한다.

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.
