Summary: Kuṇḍalakesī is a Jain or wanderer (accounts differ — commentary) who entered a debate with Sāriputta, was defeated, and went forth under the Buddha, eventually attaining arahantship. Her canonical verses are in Thig 3.5 (cited; not yet ingested). The Dhammapada-aṭṭhakathā attributes Dhp 102 to her story (commentary — not canonical).
