Pesakāradhītuvatthu untranslated

Pesakāradhītuvatthu. The story of a weaver’s daughter of Āḷavī. She heard the Buddha preach at the Aggāḷavacetiya on the necessity of meditating constantly on the inevitableness of death and, though she was only sixteen, she was the only one to profit by the sermon. Three years later the Buddha again visited Āḷavī. The citizens entertained him, but the Buddha would not preach his thanksgiving sermon till the weaver’s daughter, having finished the tasks required of her by her father, was able to be present. On her arrival the Buddha asked her questions so that her wisdom might be known to the assembled populace, and, at the conclusion of the Buddha’s discourse, she became a Sotāpanna. That same day she was killed by an accident to her loom, and her father joined the Saṅgha, attaining Arahant-ship in due course. Dhp­a.iii.170-6.
