**Ekūposathikā Therī.**—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.¹ She is probably identical with Uttamā Therī.²
