Dhammā 01. Dhammā Therī. She belonged to a respectable family in Sāvatthī and was given in marriage to a suitable husband. Having heard the Dhamma, she wished to join the Saṅgha, but her husband refused his permission. After his death she became a nun, and one day, while returning from her alms round, she slipped and fell. Meditating on this, she became an Arahant. Thīg.vs.17; Thīg­a.23f.

Dhammā 02. The chief woman disciple of Atthadassī Buddha. Bv.xv.20; Ja.i.39.

Dhammā 04. Wife of Biṇḍusāra and mother of Asoka. She had two sons, Asoka and Tissa. Mhv­ṭ.189, 193; the “Cambodian” Mahavaṁsa (vs.1129) calls her Siridhammā.

Dhammā 05. An eminent Therī of Anurādhapura, an expert teacher of the Vinaya. Dpv.xviii.14.

Dhammā 06. A very poor woman of Sīva village. Once she gave a garment to the monks of Giritimbilatissa pabbatavihāra, and they agreed among themselves that none but an Arahant should wear it. One of them became an Arahant that very day and wore it; he then passed it on to another, and before the end of the rains they all thus became Arahants. On the day of the pavāraṇa, King Lañjitissa ordered the monastery to be decorated. The monks setup Dhamma’s garment as a banner at the entrance. The king, having discovered the reason, gave Dhammā the village of Sīva, which then came to be called Dhammasīva. Ras.ii.42.
