SAkI
Śākī , n. of a brahman woman, app. an ascetic, who entertained the Bodhisattva: atha bodhisattvo yenaiva Śākyā brāhmaṇyā āśramas tenopasaṃkrāmat; sā bodhisattvaṃ vāsena bhaktena copanimantrayate sma LV 238.5 (prose); see Weller 29 . But Tib. lacks the name: bram ze rigs ldan (see below) kyi gnas , the dwelling of a person of brahman family(?) . Note that immediately after this, line 7, the Bodhisattva visits and is entertained by another brahman woman, named Padmā (this time so named in Tib. ); the two statements are closely parallel. The Tib. rigs ldan could mean noble , or represent a Skt. n. pr. such as Kulikā.
