Kassapa22

Person

『간다왐사』에서 『아나가따왐사』 및 여러 소규모 팔리어 논서의 저자로 인정받는 학승으로, 동명의 정전 작품과는 별개이다.

According to the Gandhavaṃsa (p.61) he was the author of the Anāgatavaṃsa and also of the Mohavicchedanī, the Vimaticchedanī and the Buddhavaṃsa. This Buddhavaṃsa is evidently not the canonical work of the same name. The Sāsanavaṃsadīpa (Verse 1204, see also 1221) says that a Kassapa, an inhabitant of Coḷa, was the author of a Vimativinodanī. The Sāsanavaṃsa (p.33; see also P.L.C.160) calls this a Subcommentary on the Vinaya (Vinayaṭīkā) and the author an inhabitant of the Damiḷa country. The Mohavicchedanī is there described as a lakkhaṇagandha (a treatise on grammar?) and is ascribed to another Kassapa.
