In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper Names1. Mutta Theri. She belonged to an eminent brahmin family of Savatthi and, in her twentieth year, renounced the world under Pajapati Gotami.
One day, as she meditated after her return from the alms round, the Buddha appeared before her in a ray of glory and exhorted her in a verse. Not long after she became an arahant.
In the past, she had seen Vipassi Buddha walking along the street and, gladdened by the sight, had rushed out and thrown herself at his feet (Thig.vs.2; ThigA.8f).
She is evidently identical with Sankamanatta of the Apadana. Ap.ii.514.
2. Mutta Theri. She was the daughter of Oghataka, a poor brahmin of Kosala, and was given in marriage to a hunch backed brahmin. Unwilling to live with him, she persuaded him to allow her to join the Order, where she soon became an arahant.
In the time of Padumuttara Buddha, she showed the Buddha great honour when he visited her city. Thig.vs.11; ThigA.14f.
3. Mutta. An eminent upasika, mentioned in a list of such. A.iv.347; AA.ii.791.
