[edit] Relationship

"In fact, her dying words reflected this devotion. She referred to the fact that she had been the wife of no other but Him during the entire period and had helped Him to achieve in 100,000 world cycles and four infinite periods what other Buddhas take eight and sixteen infinite periods to achieve." taken from IMMEDIATE FAMILY OF THE BUDDHA, 4. Yasodhara by Radhika Abeysekera

I wonder whether stories like this are true?

[edit] Further lives?

"In the Theri Apadana an account is found of a Theri, Yasodhara by name, who is evidently to be identified with Rahulamata, because she speaks of herself as the Buddha’s [wife] before he left the household and says that she was the chief of ninety thousand women."
