c7.s2.44

11. *Pupphacūlāo*. 10 *ajjhayaṇa*. 1. The goddess Siri going on a pilgrimage in order to pay homage to Mahāvīra had been Bhūyā converted by Pāsa in her pre-existence. One day she is reprimanded by her lady superior for having thoroughly washed her body, but yet she repeats doing so. That lady is called *Pupphacūlāo ajja* (comp. Nāy. II 1). The duration of Bhūyā's existence and her *mokṣa* are consonant with 2-10 except the name of the goddess.
