Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper Names

A nun. She continued going on her rounds for alms until she reached the age of one hundred and twenty. One day, when returning from her round, she met a monk in the street and gave him all she had in her bowl. On the second and third days she did likewise. On the fourth day, as she was going her round, she met the Buddha in a very crowded spot. She stepped back and, while doing so, she trod on the skirt of her robe which had slipped down. Unable to keep her feet, she fell down. The Buddha came up and spoke to her. She became a Sotapanna. DhA.iii.110-11.

Uttari (उत्तरि).—(apparently the usual form; also uttarī, chiefly if not wholly m.c.; uttariṃ, once uttarīṃ; uttare, °reṇa; possibly uttaraṃ, but use of this as separate adv. uncertain; in prior part of cpds. uttari-, °re-, °raṃ-, besides normal Sanskrit uttara-; Pali apparently only uttariṃ as separate word, uttari- in prior part of cpds, besides uttara-) adv., and prep. or postposition with abl. or gen., further, beyond, of time, space, number, etc.; synonym of bhūyas; all the forms enumerated seem to be equivalent and interchangeable to the extent indicated above; none seem recorded in these uses in Sanskrit or Prakrit according to the dictionaries; once uttarī may be intended as n. sg. m. of an adj., Bodhisattvabhūmi 102.15 (prose) na ebhya uttarī na ebhyo bhūyān anyo hetur vidyate, no other cause is found beyond these, greater than these (compare the next passages); with de- pendent abl., usually atas, tatas: nāsty ata uttari nāsty ato bhūyaḥ (compare prec.)
