7. Sunandā.—A garland-maker’s daughter of Rājagaha. She was a sotāpanna and daily visited the thūpa built by Ajātasattu in Rājagaha, offering to it flowers and garlands sent by her father. On fast days she would go of her own accord. When she died, she was reborn in Tāvatiṃsa in the retinue of Sakka, and when questioned by him, recounted her actions in the past. Sakka related the story to Vaṅgīsa, who, in his turn, told it to the saṅgītikārakas.¹ ¹ Vv. iii. 9; VvA. 170 f.
