Revatī untranslated

Revatī 01. Wife of Nandiya (q.v.). Her story is given in Dhp­a.iii.290ff. and also at Vv-a.220ff, also referred to in Pv-a.257. According to the Vv-a version, Nandiya was born after death in Tāvatiṁsa, but Revatī, on the death of her husband, stopped the gift of alms which he had instituted, abused the monks, and was cast alive into hell.

Revatī 02. An upāsikā, probably of Nālaka. She was a patron of Sāriputta, and, on his death, she brought three vases filled with golden flowers to be offered at the pyre. Sakka came, with his great retinue, to do honour to the Elder, and in the crush caused by his arrival Revatī was trampled to death. She was immediately reborn with a body three gāvutas in height in Tāvatiṁsa, and, on discovering the cause of her happiness, she appeared with her followers before the people and declared her homage to Sāriputta. SN­a.iii.177f.

Revatī 03. Another name, according to the Dīpavaṁsa (xxi.40f.; cp. Mhv.xxxv.14f), for Sīvalī, daughter of King Āmaṇḍagāmaṇī Abhaya. She was the sister of Cūḷābhaya and succeeded him for a period of four months, when she was dethroned by Iḷanāga.
