Kapila6

Text

अट्ठकथाओं में उल्लिखित एक भिक्षु, जिसकी संपत्ति के प्रति लोभ के कारण वह एक प्रेत के रूप में पुनर्जन्मा हुआ, जिसे बाहरी चीवर जलती हुई हालत में हवा में उड़ते देखा गया

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.
