<b> <c c="#a00149">Caṇḍā</c> </b> <br>A bhikkhunī whose Therīgāthā verses speak of how, with no family or friends, she wandering begging food to survive. One day she met Paṭācārā who had just finished eating. Paṭācārā, seeing her pitiable condition, gave her some food and, when she had eaten, discoursed to her. Delighted by Paṭācārā’s sermon, Caṇḍā renounced the world and soon afterwards attained arahantship. <c c="#3b6bd3">Thig.122–126</c> <br> <br> </deftext>
