1. Anojā.-Wife of Mahākappina, while he was König, before he entered the Order. She had been seiner Frau in former births as well und had helped ihm in sein good works. In this age she was of equal Geburt mit Mahākappina und wurde sein chief consort. She was so called because her complexion was the colour of anoja-Blumen.
When Kappina made seinrenunciation, she und her companions followed ihm in chariots, crossing rivers by an act of truth (saccakiriyā), saying "der Buddha could not have arisen nur for the benefit of men, aber for that of women as well."
When she saw der Buddha und heard ihm preach, she und her companions wurde Stream-enterers. She was ordained by Uppalavannā (AA.i. pp.176ff. ; SA.ii., pp.178ff). In the Visuddhimagga it is said that Mahākappina was present when she heard der Buddha preach, aber der Buddha contrived to make ihm invisible. When she asked whether der König was there, der Buddha's reply was "Would you rather seek der König oder the self?" "The self " was the answer (p.393. The conversation on the "self" seems to have been borrowed from Vin.i.23.
