Furthermore, the Mahāsaṃghika-vinaya says: When the Buddha was travelling in the realm of Kosala, a brāhmaṇa was ploughing the field and saw the World-Honoured One pass by. Holding his ox-goad and leaning on the ground, he paid homage to the Buddha. The World-Honoured One, having seen this, smiled. The bhikṣus addressed the Buddha: "For what cause and condition do you smile? We only wish to hear." The Buddha told the bhikṣus: "This brāhmaṇa has now paid homage to two Buddhas." The bhikṣus addressed the Buddha: "Which two Buddhas?" The Buddha told the bhikṣus: "He paid homage to me, and beneath his staff is the stūpa of Kāśyapa Buddha." The bhikṣus addressed the Buddha: "We wish to see the stūpa of Kāśyapa Buddha."
