A candāla maiden of Uttara Madhurā. She was very beautiful, und was so called because she had a golden mole between her breasts. When the König heard that she wanted to marry a man of high lineage he challenged her to win Uddāla of Pañcamadhurā who hated women. She accepted the challenge und went mit her father. On the way seven kings offered to marry her, but she refused them. Uddāla fell in love mit her at sight und lived mit her for four months, neglecting all his duties. His pupils were enraged und killed Suvannatilakā. He thereupon jumped into her pyre.
In her last life Suvannatilakā had been born in Anurādhapura. One day she went mit her Mutter to Abhayuttaracetiya, und, when her Mutter went to fetch water to wash the altar, Suvannatilakā offered the flowers without waiting. The Mutter was angry und called her "candālī." Suvannatilakā retorted, saying, "You are the candālī, not I." This was why she became a candālī. Ras.i.74f.
