The Story of Theri Dhammadinna
While residing at the Veluvana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (421) of this book, with reference to Theri Dhammadinna.
Once, there was a lay-disciple of the Buddha named Visakha in Rajagaha. After hearing the Buddha's discourses again and again Visakha attained Anagami Fruition and he said to his wife, "Please accept all my property; from today, I'm not going to take part in any of the affairs of the house." His wife Dhammadinna retorted, "Who would swallow the spittle you have thrown up?" Then she asked permission from him to enter the Order and became a bhikkhuni. After becoming a bhikkhuni she went to a monastery in a small village in the company of other bhikkhunis to practise meditation. Within a short time, she attained arahatship and returned to Rajagaha.
Visakha, hearing that Dhammadinna had returned, went to see her and asked her some questions. When he asked her about the first three maggas she answered him; but when he asked her questions on the arahatta magga and phala she said, "O lay-disciple! This matter is out of your depth; if you want, you may go and ask the Buddha." When Visakha asked the Buddha, the Buddha said, "Dhammadinna has already answered your question. If you ask me I shall have to give the same answer." Saying this the Buddha confirmed the fact that Dhammadinna had attained arahatship.
Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
| Verse 421: Him I call a brahmana, who does not cling to the past, future and present khandha aggregates and who is free from moral defilements and attachment. 妻子出家為比丘尼 不執著於過去、未來和現在五蘊的人，斷除煩惱，不執著的人，我稱之為婆羅門(註)。(偈 421) 王舍城中有位佛陀信徒，名字叫毗舍可。有一次，他聽完佛陀說法後，就證得三果。他告訴妻子：「請繼承我的財富吧！從今以後，我不要再管世間事了。」他的妻子曇摩提那拒絕他的要求，相反地，請求讓她出家，加入尼眾僧團。毗舍可答應她出家做比丘尼後，她就離開王舍城，努力精進禪修，所以在短短的時間內，就證得阿羅漢果了。 證果後，她返回王舍城。她的丈夫聽說她回來了，就去見她，並且請教幾個問題。當他請教初、二和三果的問題時，她都予以回答，但當他問及阿羅漢果的時候，她不回答，卻說：「這個問題超過你的程度，如果你要知道，請你去問佛陀。」他就去向佛陀請教同樣的問題，佛陀說：「她已經回答你的問題了。如果你問我，我也是相同的答案。」佛陀的話，證實了曇摩提那已經證得阿羅漢果。
