In the time of Padumuttara Buddha, she had heard him preach and place as foremost among nuns one whose intuition was swift (*khippā-bhiññā*). She vowed that this rank should one day be hers. Later, when Kassapa was Buddha, she was one of the seven daughters of Kikī, king of Benares, and was named Bhikkhadāyikā (*v.l.* Bhikkhudāsikā). For twenty thousand years she remained celibate and built a dwelling for the Order.²
