1. Cittá.-One of the four wives of Mágha. Mágha and his companions erected a hall, and Cittá had a flower garden laid out close by wherein she grew every kind of flowering tree, shrub and creeper. As a result she was reborn in Távatimsa as Sakka's consort, and the Cittalatávana came into being for her pleasure. DhA.i.269f; J.i.201f.

 

2. Cittá.-A Therí. She was the daughter of a leading citizen of Rájagaha. Hearing the Buddha preach, she entered the Order under Pajápatí Gotamí. In her old age she went to Gijjhakúta and there, after meditation, she attained arahantship.

Ninety-four kappas ago she was a kinnará on the bank of the Canda-bhágá and there offered flowers to a Pacceka Buddha (Thig.vs.27f.; ThigA.33f). She is probably identical with Nalamáliká of the Apadána (ii.528f).
