Dantikā. An Arahant Therī. She was daughter of the King of Kosala’s chaplain and was born in Sāvatthī. She joined the Saṅgha under Pajāpatī Gotamī. One day, during her siesta on Gijjhakūṭa, she saw how a well-tamed elephant obeyed its master’s commands, and developing insight on this theme, she became an Arahant.

In the past she had been a kinnarī on the banks of the Candabhāgā, and having seen a Pacceka Buddha at the foot of a tree, she honoured him by offering flowers. Thīg.48-50; Thīg­a.51f.
