Kāḷi was considered most senior among the women who became sotāpannas (sabbamātugāmānam antare paṭhamakasotāpannā sabbajeṭṭhikā).² She was the constant companion and staunch friend of Kātiyānī.³ Kāḷi’s wish to attain to the eminence which she reached in this life was made in the time of Padumuttara Buddha when she heard a laywoman declared pre-eminent among those who had begotten faith by hearsay.⁴
