She is Vasabhakhattia.
Kosol Colony was a great kingdom adjacent to Shakya Colony. King Kosol wanted to build a relationship with the Sakya dynasty because Lord Buddha spent a long time in Savat city and because of the great reception he received in all the sixteen great colonies. At that time, many kings built relationships through the marriages of royal princes and princesses.

As Prince Vidudabha was going back, a guard who was near him forgot his sword. While running to the assembly hall to get the sword, a certain maidservant, who was jealous of Vasabhakhattia's wealth, called Vasabhakhattia a slave, scolded Prince Vidudabha for son of a slave, and was washing the seat on which the prince was sitting. It was said that a vile person sat down and defiled the seat of the nobles.
The security guard was listening to the thief. Went and put it in the ear of Vidudabha prince. Vidudabha got angry. You can't hide stories like that. Ho Ho Gala spread everywhere. Vasabhakhattia was not a royal virgin. She is a maid. Vidudabha is not a prince. that he was the son of a slave girl.
King Kosol has nothing to do. poison shame The face is red. It is difficult for ministers to face each other. Purohita Bamuna looks at him strangely. The king removed Vasabhakhattia Agabiso from his post with immediate effect. The title of Rajakumara, which had been given to Prince Vidudabha, was also removed. Now both of them do not come out of the palace. It's like hiding. Vidudabha is counting his fingers day by day until the day to take revenge from the Shakyas.
The Blessed One sees all these things. Knows everything that will happen. In order to appease the hatred of these two, the Blessed One, accompanied by five hundred monks, went to the palace one morning. King Kosol immediately came and seated the Blessed One on the throne.
“Your Highness…. Our Vasabhakhattia can't see why... Has he gone anywhere?"
"O blessed ones... I was not in great trouble. Both were fired. How can I make a slave's son king? Wasn't Vasabhakhattia a slave girl who fetched firewood for Shakya's palace?
"Maharaja... I also came to know that Vasabhakhattia is Nagamunda's daughter. But who is her father? Who was she born from? Whose is she?
"Blessed ones, she is the daughter of Mahanama."
"So, Your Majesty, this royal daughter named Vasabhakhattia came to a Maharaja. A son was born because of that king. Why can't the son inherit the kingdom of his father? There is no problem here, my lord. Prince Vidudabha is worthy of kingship. Both are suitable for the posts given earlier.
"Your Highness, in the past, a boy who was fetching firewood from the forest had a son because of a king. The king even gave the kingdom to that son."
Then King Kosol wanted to hear what happened in the past. The king asked the Blessed One to tell the story hidden in the future.
"Your Majesty, long ago there was a king named Brahmadatta in Varanasi. One day he went to the forest with Maha Yasa's entourage to see Siri. That day, I saw a boy in the forest picking wild flowers, searching for fruits, and gathering wood pieces while singing very beautiful songs. She is a very beautiful poor maid. The king was mesmerized by her voice and face. She moved closer. In the same forest, he had intercourse with her. Suddenly her stomach felt heavy. That was the moment when the bodhisattvas were conceived in her womb. Then she started crying.
"a…. Please... Gods... Have mercy on this woman. Now my stomach felt great. I think a child has been conceived... Please... I will be helpless"
Then the king removed a ring with the royal coat of arms from his finger. Handed to her.
"Embala girl…. Don't be afraid. This is a royal ring. If you get a daughter, sell this ring and feed her. If you get a son, give me this ring and send it to the king's palace.
Bodhisattvas were born from the womb of that firewood bearer. It came when the child was running and playing. The other children joke that he is not the one without a father.
Then the child runs to the mother. Oh mother….. where is our father…. Kids make fun of me. I don't have a father. Who really is my father, mother?"
"My golden son... You are not just someone. You guys don't know. You are a king! You are the son of Maharajjuruwan of Varanasi….!”
"How come mom said that? Mothers say this to all their children…… Really, mother…. If so... How do we prove….?”
Then that mother went inside the house. He brought a small cloth pot hidden in a box. Something is wrapped up and wrapped up. The wrappers were slowly unwrapped from each other. The son looks wide-eyed.
“Shah…. Mom... this...! What a beautiful ring!”
"Yes, son... I'm going to eat this very carefully. This is the only evidence. This was given to me by the king himself on the day I conceived my son. He also told me to give him this ring if he gets a son."
"So mom... why don't you send me to dad... Oh mom... Take me with you….. please!”
The child cannot be saved. One day she dressed her son in a beautiful dress and went to the royal palace with the ring. He showed the ring to the gatekeeper and told him that he wanted to meet the king. The king was treated to a woman and a boy carrying a ring with a royal coat of arms. The king called. Mother and son went and worshiped the king.
"Lord God, I was a helpless girl chopping wood while you were traveling in the forest... That day you gave me this ring and told me that if you get a son, give me this ring and send it to the palace... This is the golden son I got because of you..."
The king remembered everything. Nobody wanted to know about this because they were in the middle of the crowd. Was ashamed.
“Mm…. This woman's... The speech… I….. remember…. If….. No…. In any case, this boy….. how will he be my son….”
"And then, Lord Gods, this ring.... the ring that was taken off your finger from your hand that day... This….."
The king asked a servant to bring the ring. It was as if he was lying in thought again.
"Mm... I didn't have a ring like this, did I?"
Then she started crying. He is now going to incur the wrath of the king for lying. She cried and said:
"Oh... Gods... Now I don't have any proof other than doing good deeds. Therefore, if this my son Ruwana is born because of you, let this child be in the sky. If not, let the child fall!” She grabbed the bodhisattva's feet and threw them up. Amazingly amazing! The king just got up. The ministers also stood up. Babies did not fall from the sky. The sky itself was tied. He said this in a sweet tone.
"Maharaja, I am your only son
Nurture me with affection
You who raise other children should be virtuous
Whomever you reject, the son belongs to him.
Then the king's heart overflowed with filial affection. “Come my precious son…. I am your father "Come my son... I will take care of him" the king raised his hands Then a thousand hands appeared and raised up. “Come on son…. Come to me" echoed everywhere.
Then the prince came into the hands of the king. The king sat holding the baby in his lap. The child's mother got the position of Agamehesi.
Your Majesty.... After Piyaraju's passing, the Bodhisattvas became known as King Kattavahana.... At that time Queen Mahamaya was the mother. The father was King Suddhodana. I was the son prince.
Then King Kosol understood well. Again Vasabhakhattia got the position of Agamehesi. Vidudabhata got the rank of Rajakumar.
