The Dhammapada Commentary⁸ mentions Veḷukaṇṭakī Nandamātā and Khujjattarā as the chief lay-women disciples of the Buddha. But in the Aṅguttara list⁹ of eminent lay-women, while Veḷukaṇṭakī Nandamātā’s name does not occur, Khujjattarā is mentioned. Mention is made of a Nandamātā, eminent in meditation, but she is called Uttarā.
