\*\*Cullasubhaddā.\*\*—An elephant, one of the two chief consorts of \*\*Chaddanta\*\*, against whom she conceived a grudge because he preferred her rival to her. She gave gifts to a Pacceka Buddha and, as a result of her wish, she was born as \*\*Subhaddā\*\*, chief queen of the \*\*Madda\*\* king. She gave orders that Chaddanta’s tusks be brought to her, but the hunter to whom the task was entrusted killed the elephant, and on hearing of his death Subhaddā died of a broken heart.¹
