“Among my foremost Bhikshunii disciples:

Dharmadinnaa embodies patience like the earth’s endurance;

Suyamaa inspires donors to establish alms assemblies;

Indraa’s mind remains perfectly still;

Naagaa tirelessly studies Dharma;

Kundalaa practices with courageous detachment;

Vaasavii’s water Samadhi nourishes all beings;

Jyesthaa’s radiant Samadhi illuminates creatures;

Capalaa contemplates impurity and dependent origination;

Shuklaa nurtures the needy with provisions;

and Bhadraa Kundalakeshaa stands as the last great disciple from Kuru country.”
