v1.c9.1380

3. Ubbari.—Queen Consort of Assaka, king of Potali in the Kāsī kingdom. She was extremely beautiful and, when she died, the king had her body embalmed and placed in a coffin which was put under his bed. She, however, was born as a dung-worm because she had been intoxicated by her own beauty. The story is related in the Assaka Jātaka.¹
