133. “Bhikkhus, any Upāsikā (female lay disciple) of mine who possesses strong faith and confidence in her heart, longing for perfection, should rightfully aspire to the following:

‘May I become like Khujjuttarā and Veḷukaṇṭakī Nandamātā!’

“After all, Bhikkhus, this is the standard to which all my Upāsika disciples must compare and measure themselves with all the time, that is, Khujjuttarā and Veḷukaṇṭakī Nandamātā.”
