English:

In ancient India, in the eastern city of Paa.taliputta, there was a rich merchant's family with an accrued wealth of eighty-seven crore. This merchant had only a daughter named Buddheni. At the age of seven, Buddheni's parents died. The entire property of the family became hers.

Endowed with great beauty, equal of a celestial nymph, Buddheni was a beautiful, lovely, charming and beloved girl. She lived a life faithful, virtuous and devoted to the Triple Gem.

However, desiring her to be their wife, upcoming merchants, generals and governors in that city sent people to her with gifts. Learning about it, she thought: "My parents, who have relinquished control, have passed away. Likewise, it should be done away for me too. What is a marriage life for me?"

"It is only for the loss of property. Besides, it is fit only to contribute this wealth to the Buddhist order by me," she thought.

Having thought so, she rejected them, "Not good to be my husband's clan."

From then, making great offerings, she pleased the samanas and brahmins.
