(1) MIGAR MATA VISAKHA---Visakha's life-story reveals her sharp intelligence and sheer talent for which her father-in-law was impelled to accept her as his mother. The present book gives a glimpse of her other qualities and her devotion towards Lord Buddha. We request our readers to pass this book on to others when they have finished it. This will give others an opportunity to benefit from the life-story of Visakha and Lord Buddha's auspicious teachings as well........(2) SUJATA---Sujata is the most renowned of the female Buddhist characters. Her tale of offering Kheer (rice cooked with milk) to the Bodhisatva is well known. Her fame eluded others.......(3) MAHASTHAVIRA ANANDA---Ananda is a great ideal personality of the Buddhist era, and we believe his life sketch would make an interesting reading to all. Indeed, Ananda, the great monk will always be remembered as a champion of women's emancipation, eradication of caste-system, and liberty. His legendary life has been an inspiring factor behind the popularity of Buddhism. Therefore, we felt highly delighted to avail ourselves of this opportunity to deliver his biography in a brief and simple form........(4) ANATHPINDIKA THE GREAT ALMSGIVER ---Anathpindik was a famous merchant of the prosperous and rich town. He was a vaishya by birth, a merchant by profession, and an ascetic by nature. He had his own village in Kasi, wherefrom he traded through munims (accountants) and other staff. His real name was Sudatta. But, as he habitually gave bounties of alms to the orphans or the poors, he came to be known as Anathpindik (Anath=Orphan+Pinda=bounty). He was widely known for his riches and alms as well. According to a legend, he was the treasurer of the king Prasenjit.
