Mahāprajāpatī Mahā Prajāpatī (Pāli: Mahā Pajāpatī) Gotamī 瞿曇彌 is the Buddhaʼs aunt and foster-mother, who nurses the child Siddhartha when his own mother (Mahā Māyā) dies a week after his birth. After imploring the Buddha three times to be allowed to become a nun and being rejected, she cries. Witnessing this, Ānanda once again makes a request to Śākyamuni and she is admitted, based on her acceptance of eight precepts for nuns 八敬法.
