1.15 Uttara

Her story is also similar to that of Theri Tissa. And she renounced the world under the Great Pajapati the Gotami (Foster Mother & Aunt of Buddha as well as Head of nuns order). While she was meditating, the Master(Buddha), sitting in the 'Fragrant Chamber'83 of the Vihara(monastery), sent forth his radiant ethereal form to encourage her, through which she won Arahantship(enlightenment equal to Buddha) about which she spoke in blissfulness:

Well have I  disciplined myself in body/action, In speech and in mind, intent & in attention. Craving is removed totally from roots; Pacified am I now; I know Nibbana's peace (Nirvana state). (15)
