Anāgatavaṃsa
TextEin Gedicht über den zukünftigen Buddha Metteyya, verfasst von einem Thera namens Kassapa aus dem Coḷa-Land, das ursprünglich vom Buddha selbst auf Sāriputtas Bitte gelehrt worden sein soll und später mit einem Subkommentar versehen wurde.
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.
