Summary: Patipūjikā is traditionally (per Dhammapada-aṭṭhakathā) a young laywoman of Sāvatthī whose lifetime of daily offerings is measured against the life-span of a celestial deity — establishing the vast scale on which devotional merit may operate across rebirths. The Dhp-a narrative occasions Dhp 48 (death seizes the flower-gatherer before desires are met). The canonical suttas do not name her; the story is commentarial. (commentary — not canonical)
