Kapila6

Text

소유물에 대한 탐욕 때문에 겉옷이 불타오르며 하늘을 나는 모습이 목격된 아귀로 태어난, 주석서에 언급된 비구

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.
