Śākī, n. of a brahman woman, app. an ascetic, who entertained the Bodhisattva: atha bodhisattvo yenaiva Śākyā brāhmaṇyā āśramas tenopasaṃkrāmat
bodhisattvaṃ vāsena bhaktena copanimantrayate sma LV 〔238.5〕 (prose)
see Weller 〔29〕. But Tib. lacks the name: bram ze rigs ldan (see below) kyi gnas, the dwelling of a person of brahman family(?). Note that immediately after this, line 7, the Bodhisattva visits and is entertained by another brahman woman, named Padmā (this time so named in Tib.)
the two statements are closely parallel. The Tib. rigs ldan could mean noble, or represent a Skt. n. pr. such as Kulikā.
