v2.c29.110

From the time of her husband's death Mallikā laid aside the pasādhana, but, on the day on which the Buddha's body was being removed for cremation, she washed the pasādhana in perfumed water and placed it on the body, which it completely covered. She expressed the wish that, as long as she remained in saṃsāra, her body should need no ornament.⁶
