commentarial mahākappina Mahākappina One of the most eminent disciples of the Buddha, considered foremost among those who taught the monks. AN.i.25 The Vinaya Vin.i.105 records that when Kappina was in the Deer Park at Maddakucchi he wondered whether he need attend the uposatha ceremonies, since he himself was pure. The Buddha appeared before him, telling him to go. He sent for him and asked him to teach the Doctrine to his associates. This Kappina did, and at the end of a single sermon one thousand listening recluses became arahants, hence the title conferred on him. The Theragāthā contains verses in which he celebrates wisdom and equanimity in theface of death. Thag.547–556 Kappina is described by the DPPN 引用：AN.i.25、Vin.i.105、Thag.547–556、SN.i.145、SN.v.315、Thag.1086（PTS 標注）
