Alambusā

The nymph sent by Sakka to tempt the sage Isisinga, as related in the Alambusā Jātaka.

In the present age she was the wife of the monk with reference to whom the Alambusā Jātaka was related (J.v.152-61).

Her name appears in the Vimānavatthu (p.16, v.10. See also CSB.29, Pl.15) in a list of nymphs who minister with song and dance to Sakka and his queens.
