A village near Ujjenī. When
Mahā Kaccāna
went there on his way to Ujjeni, a poor girl of noble family, seeing him return
empty handed from his alms-round, invited him into her house, cut off her
beautiful hair, sent a slave-girl to sell it, and with the price of it gave alms
to Kaccāna, keeping herself out of sight.
The Elder sent for her, and, at the
sight of him, her hair grew as before. Candappajjota, hearing of the incident,
sent for her and made her his queen.
She gave birth to a son called, after
his maternal grandmother, Gopāla, and his mother thereafter came to be called
Gopālamātā. AA.i.117f.
