A seven-year-old novice, an arahant who offered to perform a miracle herself, so that the Buddha might be saved the trouble of performing the Twin Miracle. She offered to fetch Sineru, the Cakkaválapabbata and Himavá, and to soar over their tops like a wild goose (DhA.iii.211).

She is probably identical with the Bhikkhuní mentioned in the Samyutta Nikáya (i.213) as having won the praise of a Yakkha.
