Kappa

Person

बावरी के शिष्यों में से एक, जिसका भव के प्रवाह से शरण संबंधी बुद्ध से प्रश्न कप्प-माणव-पुच्छा में दर्ज है, और जो अर्हत बना

One of Bāvarī’s disciples. The questions he asked of the Buddha are recorded in the Kappa-māṇava Pucchā. He asks the Buddha if there is any refuge from the flood of becoming, decay, and death. The Buddha says that there is a place of non-attachment where one can be at peace, no longer a slave of Māra. Kappa became an Arahant. Sn.vv.1007, 1092-5; SnA.ii.597.
