Anāgatavaṃsa
Textコーラ国のカッサパという長老によって作られた未来仏メッテイヤに関する詩で、もともとは舎利弗の求めに応じて仏陀自身が説いたとされ、後に復注が付された。
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.
