5. Kapila.—A sinful monk who lived in a village near Kosambi. He was the friend of Paṇḍaka (q.v.).¹ 6. Kapila.—The *Majjhima Commentary*¹ has a reference to a monk named Kapila, who, because of his greed for possessions, is described as having been reborn with a flaming *saṅghāṭi*-robe (*saṅghāṭi pi ādittā hoti*). This probably refers to a monk mentioned in the *Pārājikā*,² who was reborn as a peta and who could be seen going through the air with his robe aflame.
