Arahant. In the past she was a
slave-girl, a water-carrier in the city of Bandhumatī. Seeing the King Bandhumā
keeping the fast, she took the precepts herself and kept them well. Sixty-four
times she became the queen of rulers in heaven, and was sixty-three times queen
among men. Her complexion was always of a golden hue. In her last life she left
the world at the age of seven, and attained arahantship within eight months
(Ap.ii.522f).
She is probably identical with Uttamā
Therī. See ThigA.46ff.
