SN5.2 Bhikkhunisamyutta - With Soma
1. Bhikkhuni Soma was born in Rajagaha and was the daughter of the Purohita (Chief Chaplain) of King Bimbisara. In later years she became a lay disciple and then ordained as a Bhikkhuni.
2. At the time of this sutta, Soma was residing in Savatthi.
3. Soma was undeterred when Mara tried to arouse fear in her and make her fall away from her practice in collectedness.
4. Soma's reply to Mara was that one's gender should not be a deterrance to one's practice. Rather, one should not think in the manner of "I am a woman", "I am a man" or "I am anything at all" in the practice.
