Much troubled, she had her ornaments made into an ingot of gold and placed it on the shrine of Kassapa Buddha, which was in process of being built, and did reverence to it with her hands full of lotuses. Her body immediately became fragrant and sweet, and she was married again to her first husband.² Later, she was the queen of Nanda, king of Benares,³ with whom she ministered to five hundred Pacceka Buddhas, sons of Padumavatī. When they passed away she was greatly troubled and left the world to give herself up to ascetic practices. She dwelt in a grove, developed jhāna, and was reborn in the Brahma-world.⁴ - [Previous: v2.c30.170](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.170) - [Next: v2.c30.172](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.172) - [Up: v2.c30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.171](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.171) · Pramāṇa
