Aciravatī.—A canal which ran westwards from the Mahāvālukagaṅgā in Ceylon; from it flowed four other canals eastwards: the Sataruddhā, Nibbindā, Dhavalā and Sīdā.¹ 1. Acela-Kassapa.—A naked ascetic. He visited the Buddha at Ujuññā in the Kaṇṇa-katthala deer-park and asked him if it were true that he disparaged all penance and reviled ascetics. Their conversation is recorded in the Kassapa-Sīhanāda Sutta.¹ After the usual four months' probation, he joined the Order and in due course became an arahant.² In the Majjhima Nikāya³ we are told that he was an old friend of Bakkula Thera, and that after a conversation with him obtained his ordination (under him). See also Acela-Kassapa (3). - [Previous: v1.c6.459](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.459) - [Next: v1.c6.461](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.461) - [Up: v1.c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.460](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.460) · Pramāṇa
