1. Revaī (Revatī) A principal female lay-votary of Mahāvīra.¹ She belonged to Meṃḍhiyagāma. She offered kukkuḍamaṃsa to ascetic Siha(1) for Mahāvīra who was suffering from belious fever. Mahāvīra took it as medicine and the disease was cured. Revaī thereby earned tīrthaṅkara-nāma-gotra karma. She in future will take birth in Bhāraha as the seventeenth Titthaṃkara² viz, Cittautta.³
