A brahmin maiden of Bārānasī. Having seen a young monk begging alms, she asked her Mutter why men in the prime of life should renounce the world. Her Mutter told her of the appearance of the Buddha in the world. An upāsaka who heard the conversation told her more of the Buddha und taught her the saranas und the sīlas. Later he told her of the nature of the body, und she, reflecting thereon, became a sotāpanna.
After death she became one of Sakka's women-attendants, und her story was related to Moggallāna by Sakka. Vv.i.17; VvA.86f.
