Kapisīsa2
PersonUn ministre du roi Vaṭṭagāmaṇī qui, étant descendu après avoir balayé le sanctuaire d’Ākāsa au monastère d’Acchagalla, omit de se prosterner lorsque le roi et la reine passèrent sur les marches, et fut tué par le roi pour cette offense.
A minister of King Vaṭṭagāmaṇī. One day when the king, accompanied by his queen, was going up the steps of the Ākāsa-cetiya at Acchagalla-vihāra, he saw the minister, who had come down after the sweeping of the cetiya, sitting by the roadside. Because Kapisīsa failed to prostrate himself before the king, the latter slew him (Mhv.xxxiii.68 f).
