  • The fourth of the seven daughters of King Kikī of Bārāṇasī in the time of Kassapa Buddha, who lived in celibacy for twenty thousand years and built a hall for the monks; she is identified as a previous birth of Bhaddā Kuṇḍalakesā, though one source identifies her instead with Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī.
