Alomā (Alonā?)

A poor woman of Benares. She saw the Buddha going on his begging round, and having nothing else to offer, gave him, with very pious heart, some dried flesh, old and salt less.

She thought constantly of her gift, and after death was born in a vimāna in Tāvatiṃsa, where Moggallāna came across her and heard her story from her (v.l. Ālomā). Vv.39; VvA.184.
