MÄnavamma
1. MÄnavamma.- See MÄna, Nos. 2 and 3.
2. MÄnavamma.- Elder brother of MÄna (2) and son of Kassapa II. Once, as he made an incantation, the god KumÄra appeared before him, riding his peacock; the bird, finding nothing to drink, flew at MÄnavamma’s face. He, thereupon, offered the peacock his eye, of which the bird drank. KumÄra promised him the fulfilment of his wish, but he did not aspire to royal power, and retired in favour of his younger brother MÄna. Cv.lvii.5ff.
