PIPPALA II. A brahmin born of the race of Kaśyapa. Pippala did severe penance and became arrogant of the power acquired by it. Once he happened to see the eminent sage Sukarmā serving with devotion his own mother and father and that made his arrogance fade a bit. (Bhūmi Khaṇḍa, Padma Purāṇa, Chapter 61).
