A Licchavi girl.
Her Vater was a Nigantha who had come to Vesāli to hold discussions und had there met a Niganthī whom he married. Avavādakā had drei sisters, Saccā, Lolā und Patācārā und one Bruder Saccaka. The children learnt from their parents one tausend theses for discussion, und on the death of the parents the sisters wurde Paribbājakas. In the course of their wanderings, whenever they entered a city, they would set up at die Stadt-gate a jambu-twig, as a challenge to anyone who might wish to hold a philosophic discussion mit them.
In Sāvatthi, Sāriputta accepted the challenge, und at the end of the discussion he converted them. They later wurde arahants. Die Geschichte of their past is given in the Culla Kālinga Jātaka. J.iii.1ff.
