佛之姨母，梵名摩訶波闍波提Mahāprajāpatī，乳養佛者。由阿難之請。始許出家。是比丘尼之初也。別號憍曇彌Gotamī，如佛言為瞿曇。法華文句二曰：「波闍波提，此翻大愛道，亦云憍曇彌，此翻眾生。」此翻誤也，眾主乃波闍波提也。
Mahā prajāpatī, 摩訶波闍波提 Gautama's aunt and foster-mother, also styled Gotami or Gautami, the first woman received into the order. There are sutras known by her name. 大愛 is also a name for the sea-god.
一大愛道 即摩訶波闍波提夫人出家後之法名。（參閱「摩訶波闍波提」7630）p1170
