Kapila6
TextUn moine mentionné dans les Commentaires dont l’avidité pour les possessions le fit renaître en esprit affamé, vu volant dans les airs avec sa robe extérieure en flammes
The Majjhimanikāya Commentary (i.75) has a reference to a monk named Kapila, who, because of his greed for possessions, is described as having been reborn with a flaming outer-robe (saṅghātī pi ādittā hoti). This probably refers to a monk mentioned in the Pārājikā (Vin.iii.107), who was reborn as a peta and who could be seen going through the air with his robe aflame.
