The queen died on the way, whereas the princess was sold to merchant Dhaņāvaha(1) of Kosambi. Mūlā, the wife of the merchant, started harassing her under the suspicion that one day she might usurp her position as a co-wife.
It was Camdanā who fulfilled the six months (five days less) abhigraha (self-imposed restriction in the matter of accepting food) undertaken by Mahāvira by offering him cooked black beans. She had Miyāvai (1) as one of her chief disciples. Her repentance for wrongly admonishing Miyāvai became the cause of her omniscience. 3. AvaCu. I. pp. 318-9, KalpV. p. 170,1 4. AvaCu. I. p. 615.
