Bhuñjatī


Wife of Vessavana and a devout follower of the Buddha. Once, when Sakka went to see the Buddha at the SalalÄgÄra, he found the Buddha engaged in meditation, BhuñjatÄ« waiting on him and worshipping him with clasped hands. Sakka asked her to salute the Buddha in his name when he should awake from his meditation (D.ii.270f).

Buddhaghosa adds (DA.iii.705) that Bhuñjatī had reached the second Fruit of the Path and found no pleasure in the luxuries of heaven.
