Queen consort of Udena. She belonged to a poor merchant's family in Telappanáli and had long and beautiful hair, the envy of her friends. One day, Mahá Kaccána and seven others visited the village, and she sold her hair for eight kahápanas, that she might provide the visitors with a meal. It is said that she recovered her hair immediately on seeing Mahá Kaccána. When the Elder reached Ujjeni that very day, by air, he related the incident to King Udena and the king, having sent messengers to fetch Gopálamátá, made her his chief consort. She gave birth to a son, whom she called Gopála, after her own father, and thenceforth she herself was called Gopálamátá. AA.i.118; Mil.291.
