Kassapa Thera.—According to the \*Gandhavaṃsa\*¹ 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\*² says that a Kassapa, an inhabitant of Coḷa, was the author of \*Vimativinodanī\*. The \*Sāsanavaṃsa\*³ calls this a \*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. - [Previous: v1.c12.1280](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1280) - [Next: v1.c12.1282](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1282) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1281](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.1281) · Pramāṇa
