v1.c24.499

He had two sons—Moggallāna and Kassapa. Kassapa rebelled against his father at the instigation of his brother-in-law—who had been punished for ill-treating the king's daughter—and seized Dhātusena in the hope of securing his treasure. The king asked to be taken to Kālavāpi, saw the Thera who had been his teacher, and announced that his whole treasure was the Kālavāpi. Kassapa then had him buried alive.
