When the Buddha rejected her father's offer of marriage with her, her parents joined the Order, giving her in charge of her uncle, Culla-Mägandiya. The latter took her to Udena, king of Kosambī, who made her his chief consort, giving her five hundred ladies-in-waiting. Mägandiyā was incensed against the Buddha for having called her a “vessel of filth,” and, when he came to Kosambī, she planned her revenge. Having discovered that Udena's other queen, Sāmāvatī, and her companions were in the habit of watching for the Buddha through windows in the walls of their rooms, she told the king that Sāmāvatī and her friends were conspiring to kill him. For some time the king refused to believe this, but when the holes were shown to him, he had them closed up and the windows built higher. - [Previous: v2.c31.2536](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.2536) - [Next: v2.c31.2538](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.2538) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.2537](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.2537) · Pramāṇa
