Madaalasaa .

[elmec]

Recently in a spiritual journal I came across the name Madaalasaa of a
woman who was a jnaani par excellence. It seems she turned all her
children into young jnaanis just by singing a simple lullaby when they
were still in cradle :

shudhdhosi  budhdhosi  niranjanosi
samsaara  maaya  parivarjitosi .

( you are pure, you are all knowing, you are untouched (by raaga and
dwesha)
you are devoid of the maaya which envelops the world )

I am curious to know who this character Madaalasaa is. In which
puraana/upanishad is she mentioned ? Can any one tell me please ?

Regards,
Hari Om,
Latha Vidyaranya
