According to the Saṃyukta-āgama, the maternal aunt [Mahā]prajāpatī was indeed the biological mother of Nanda. Furthermore, the Ekottarika-āgama states: Among the four assemblies of disciples, briefly taking those who came earlier and later, we may provisionally list eight persons. Among the bhikṣus, the first to attain the Way was, for instance, the bhikṣu Kauṇḍinya, who was skilled in exhorting and transforming without losing deportment; the last to attain the Way was, for instance, Subhadra, who entered parinirvāṇa on the very day he attained the Way. Among the bhikṣuṇīs, the first to attain the Way was, for instance, the nun Mahāprajāpatī; the last to attain the Way was, for instance, the nun of the country of Taraguyī (陀羅俱夷). Among the upāsakas, the first to attain the Way was, for instance, the merchant; the last to attain the Way was, for instance, Guyinamāla (俱夷那摩羅). Among the upāsikās, the first to attain the Way was the woman Nandā (難婆); the last to attain the Way was, for instance, the upāsikā Rāmā (藍).
