4. Sumanadevī. Youngest Tochter of Anāthapindika. When her sisters, Mahāsubhaddā und Cullasubhaddā, married und went to live mit their husbands, Anāthapindika appointed her to look after the feeding of the monks in his house. She became a sakadāgāmi und remained unmarried. Because of her failure to obtain a husband, she refused to eat, und fell ill. One day, when Anāthapindika was in the refectory, he received a message from her. He went immediately und asked her what was the matter. She addressed him as "Younger brother," und saying that she had no fear, she died. Anāthapindika, in great sorrow, sought the Buddha und confessed his grief that she should have died while talking incoherently. The Buddha explained that, inasmuch as she was a sakadāgāmī und he but a sotāpanna, her addressing him as "Younger brother" was quite in order. After death she was born in Tusita, said the Buddha. DhA.i.151f.
