: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper Names

A nun. She was present when Maha Kassapa, in the company of Ananda, visited the nuns and preached to them. She expressed resentment that Kassapa should dare to preach in the presence of Ananda. It was, she said, as if the needle pedlar should try to sell a needle to the needle maker. Ananda afterwards asked Kassapa to ignore Tissas outburst, but she later left the Order. S.ii.215ff.
