An arahant Theri. She was daughter of the King of Kosala's chaplain and was born in Sávatthi. She joined the Order under Pajápatí Gotamí. One day, during her siesta on Gijjhakúta, she saw how a well tamed elephant obeyed its master's commands, and developing insight on this theme, she became an arahant.

In the past she had been a kinnarí on the banks of the Candabhágá, and having seen a Pacceka Buddha at the foot of a tree, she honoured him by offering flowers. Thig.48-50; ThigA.51f.
