Uruvela-Kassapa was so called partly to distinguish him from other Kassapas and partly because he was ordained at Uruvelā. At first he had one thousand followers, and after he was ordained by the Buddha all his followers stayed with him and each of them ordained a great number of others, so that their company became very numerous.⁸
