The correct answer is - Amrapali.

Amrapali was a courtesan of Vaishali. She was extremely beautiful and talented. She was the daughter of a wealthy citizen named Mahanama. She was sought by many suitors including princes who fought amongst themselves for her hand.

When Mahanama brought this to the notice of the Lichchhavi gana, they saw the charming girl and decided that she was a stri-ratna. She led her life as a public woman and 
she was well versed in 64 arts and was visited by kings and nobles.

Later, Buddha taught Amrapaii the Dharma which destroyed all her worldly desires and purified her heart.
