Anāgatavaṃsa

Text

콜라국의 카사파라는 장로가 지은 미래불 멧테야에 관한 시로, 원래 사리불의 요청으로 부처님이 직접 설했다고 하며 후에 복주석이 붙었다.

A poem on the story of Metteyya, the future Buddha, by an elder named Kassapa (Gv.61), an inhabitant of the Coḷa country (Svd.v.1204).

The poem is probably based on an older work (P.L.C.,160 f).

A Subcommentary (ṭīkā) exists, written by an Upatissa, possibly the author of the Mahābodhivaṃsa.

The introductory verses of the poem state that the story was taught by the Buddha at Sāriputta’s request. For the text see J.P.T.S.,1886, pp.32 ff.
