Here Tathagata converted Uravilva-Kas'yapa (Yeu-leu-pin-lo-kia-she-po) with his two brothers and a thousand of their followers. Tathagata, for the purpose of following out his office as "illustrious guide," according to his opportunity (or in a suitable way), caused him (i.e., Kas'yapa) to submit to his teaching. On this occasion, when 500 followers of Uravilva-Kas'yapa had requested to receive the instruction of Buddha, then Kas'yapa said, "I too with you will give up the way of error." On this, going together, they came to the place where Buddha was. Tathagata, addressing them, said, "Lay aside your leather garments and give up your fire-sacrificing vessels." Then the disciples, in obedience to the command, cast into the Nairanjana river their articles of worship (service or use). When Nadi-Kas'yapa (Nai-ti-kia-she-po) saw these vessels following the current of the river, he came with his followers to visit his brother. Having seen his conduct and changed behaviour, he also took the yellow robes. Gaya-Kasyapa also, with two hundred followers, hearing of his brother's change of religion, came to the place where Buddha was, and prayed to be allowed to practise a life of purity. > — Samuel Beal 1884, Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World - [Previous: 8.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.8.59) - [Next: 8.61](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.8.61) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.8) ## Translations (1) - [Si-yu-ki: Buddhist Records of the Western World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087~en-beal.8.70) — Samuel Beal 1884, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.8.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2087.8.60) · Pramāṇa
