Kapila6

Text

所有物への貪欲さのために、外衣が燃え上がりながら空を飛ぶ姿を目撃された餓鬼として生まれ変わった、注釈書に言及される比丘

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.
