Amrapali
Amrapāli, also known as "Ambapālika" or "Ambapali", was a ''nagarvadhu'' (royal courtesan) of the republic of Vaishali in ancient India around 500 BC.〔name=autogenerated1>(The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum )〕〔(History of Vaishali )〕 Following the Buddha's teachings she became an arahant. She is mentioned in the old Pali texts and Buddhist traditions, particularly in conjunction with the Buddha staying at her mango grove, ''Ambapali vana'' which she later donated to his order, and wherein he preached the famous ''Ambapalika Sutta''.〔(Ambapaali vana ) Pali dictionary.〕〔Khanna, p. 45〕〔(Ambapaali Sutta ) Pali dictionary.〕 The legend of Amrapali originated in the Buddhist Jataka Tales some 1500 years ago.
==Early life==
Amrapali or Ambapali was born around 600-500 BC to an unknown parentage, and was given her name because at her birth she was found at the foot of a mango tree in one of the royal gardens in Vaishali.〔 A feudal named Mahanaman of Vaishali, now a district on the bank of River Ganga, had traced the rare beauty of Amrapali when she was a child. Lured by the beauty of Amrapali, Mahanaman abandoned his kingdom and shifted to Ambara village, a small hamlet in Vaishali.〔(The Hindu Business Line : Here's something different )〕 (Etymologically, the variants on her name derive from a combination of two Sanskrit words: ''"amra"'', meaning mango, and ''"pallawa"'', meaning young leaves or sprouts.
