Uppalavanna
Uppalavannā ((中国語:蓮華色比丘尼) or 優缽華色比丘尼) was considered to be amongst the two chief female disciples of the Buddha, the other being Khema. She was the daughter of a wealthy merchant and was known for her great beauty. Her name means "one with the hue of the blue lotus". == Family life and renunciation == She was the daughter of a businessman from Savatthi (Shravasti). She was named Uppalavanna because her complexion was that of a blue lotus. She was so beautiful that when she came of age, powerful and wealthy suitors sent messengers to her father asking for her hand. Not wanting to displease so many people, he suggested that she become a bhikkhuni. She agreed and became a nun. She quickly progressed in meditation and became an Arahant (fully liberated). 〔Commentary Uppalavanna Sutta (n.d.).〕
