Amrapali

Amrapāli, also known as Ambapālika or Ambapali, was a celebrated nagarvadhu (royal courtesan) of the republic of Vaishali in ancient India around 500 BC. Following the Buddhas teachings, she became an arahant. She is mentioned in the old Pali texts and Buddhist traditions, particularly in conjunction with the Buddha staying at her mango grove, Ambapali vana, which she later donated to his order and wherein he preached the famous Ambapalika Sutta. The legend of Amrapali originated in the Buddhist Jataka Tales some 1500 years ago.
