Vijayā Therī

She belonged to a household in Rājagaha and was a friend of Khemā. When Khemā left the world, Vijayā went to her, and, having listened to her teaching, joined the Order under her, attaining Arahantship soon afterwards (ThigA.159 f; her Udāna verses are included in Thig.169‑74.).

She may be identical with the Vijayā, mentioned in the Saṃyuttanikāya (S.i.130) a Bhikkhuṇī whom Māra, assuming the form of a young man, tried unsuccessfully to tempt.
