Visaka was also a follower of Buddha and one day he became Anāgāmi by hearing dharma of Buddha. Hence Dhammadinna also followed Buddha and she became a bhikkhuni and soon attained Arhat. She was very famous for teaching dharma to people same as Buddha at that time. Because of this reason Buddha honored Dhammadinna as foremost in teaching of Dharma.[1]
