Entry 14895, Page 525, Col. 1

(SAkI, SAkI)
Śākī¦, n. of a brahman woman, app. an ascetic, who entertained the Bodhisattva: atha bodhisattvo yenaiva Śākyā brāhmaṇyā āśramas tenopasaṃkrāmat; sā bodhi- sattvaṃ 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.
