1"Bhikkhus, a female lay follower endowed with faith, rightly aspiring, should aspire thus: ‘May I become like the female lay followers Khujjuttarā and Veḷukaṇṭakī Nandamātā!’ This is the standard and criterion for my female lay disciples, that is, the female lay followers Khujjuttarā and Veḷukaṇṭakī Nandamātā."[n.322] See AN1.260, AN1.262. The latter's name is also spelled Veḷukaṇṭakiyā and Veḷukaṇdakī.
