Hiouien Thsang speaks of a stūpa containing the relics of the whole body of the Buddha, to the north of the town, near Śrāvastī, where, according to him, Kassapa was born.²⁹ Mention is also made of a footprint of Kassapa.³⁰ Stories of Kassapa are also found in the Divyāvadāna.³¹ The Dhammapada Commentary³² contains a story, which seems to indicate that, near the village of Todeyya, there was a shrine thought to be that of Kassapa and held in high honour by the inhabitants of the village. After the disappearance of Kassapa's Sāsana, a class of monks called Setavattha-samaṇavamsa ("white-robed recluses") tried to resuscitate it, but without success.³³ - [Previous: v1.c12.1198](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1198) - [Next: v1.c12.1200](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1200) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1199](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1199) · Pramāṇa
