Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesThe name given to a bhikkhuni, who, so Ananda tells Udayi, came to see him at the Anjanavana in Saketa. The nun asked him for what purpose the Buddha requested that samadhi should be practised and Ananda answered that it was for the purpose of obtaining insight (A.iv.427f).
The Commentary (AA.ii.812) says that the bhikkhuni was so called because she came from a city called Jatilagaha.
