Paṭācārā.—One of the five children of two Jain disputants, a man and a woman, of Vesālī; they married at the suggestion of the Licchavis in order that their children might inherit the skill of both. Paṭācārā and her three sisters and one brother were later converted by Sāriputta and became arahants. Paṭācārā is identified with one of the daughters of the Kalinga king in the Cullakāliṅga Jātaka.¹ Her brother was the Nigaṇṭha Saccaka.²
