Vedehikā
Personサーヴァッティーの在家女性で、その温和さで知られていたが、召使いの少女カーリーがその評判が根拠のないものであることを示した。ブッダゴーサは彼女の名がヴィデーハ家の出自か、あるいは彼女の智慧に由来すると説明する。
A lady householder (gahapatānī) of Sāvatthi who had a reputation for gentleness until her servant girl, Kāḷī, convinced people that it was not deserved (M.i.125 f). For the story see Kāḷī (3).
Buddhaghosa says that she was called Vedehikā either because she came from a Videha family or because she was wise. MA.i.318;
Cf. Vedehiputta, Vedehamuṇi.
