v2.c27.201

Pañcadīpadāyikā Therī.—An arahant. One hundred thousand kappas ago she was a recluse wandering from one monastery to another. One dark night she sat at the foot of the bodhi-tree and wished that the tree should shine in radiance. Her wish was granted, and for seven days she sat there, and on the ninth day she lit five lamps under the tree. After death she was born in Tāvatiṃsa, and her palace was known as Pañcadīpī.
