The Sutta Nipāta Commentary⁷ states that she kept a daily fast and knew the Piṭakas by heart. It also says that, at the end of her recital of the Parāyaṇa, Vessavaṇa offered her a boon, and she asked that, as her servants were weary of carrying the harvest home from the fields, Vessavaṇa should allow his Yakkhas to do the work for them. To this he agreed, and his followers filled for her one thousand two hundred and fifty store-houses. Vessavaṇa then went to the Buddha and told of what had happened.
