One day she heard the Buddha declare a nun chief among possessors of the "heavenly eye" and herself wished for similar honour. In the time of Kassapa Buddha she was a brahminee and later became a Paribbājikā. One day she offered alms at the Buddha’s \*thūpa\* and kept a lamp burning there all night. She was then reborn in Tāvatiṃsa.² - [Previous: v2.c36.70](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.70) - [Next: v2.c36.72](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.72) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.71](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.71) · Pramāṇa
