Puṇṇā.—A slave-woman. The Commentaries mention¹ that the Buddha once made a rag-robe (\*pamsukūla\*) out of a garment cast off by her in a cemetery overgrown with weeds (\*atimuttakasusāna\*). When the Buddha donned the robe the earth trembled in wonder. It was this robe that the Buddha exchanged with Mahā Kassapa; when the Buddha picked it up from the cemetery where Puṇṇā had cast it off it was covered with insects.² - [Previous: v2.c27.2030](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.2030) - [Next: v2.c27.2032](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.2032) - [Up: v2.c27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.2031](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.2031) · Pramāṇa
