[455] 5.
"I was born in a high family, one of abundant possessions and great wealth,
endowed with beauty of complexion and figure — the daughter of Meghi,¹ his own child.
Sought after by princes, coveted by treasurers' sons,
one sent a messenger to my father: 'Give Anopamā to me;
however much she weighs when weighed — that daughter of yours, Anopamā —
I shall give eight times that in gold and jewels.'
I, having seen the Fully Enlightened One (sambuddha), the foremost of the world, the unsurpassed,
paid homage at his feet and sat down to one side.
He, Gotama, out of compassion taught me the Dhamma;
seated on that very seat, I attained the third fruition (phala).
Then, having cut off my hair, I went forth into homelessness;
today is the seventh night² for me since craving (taṇhā) was dried up."
Anopamā.
