Kassapa

And the Blessed One having dwelt some time in Uruvelā went forth to Rājagaha, accompanied by a great number of bhikkhus, many of whom had been Jatilas before; and the great Kassapa, chief of the Jatilas and formerly a fireworshipper, went with him.

At that time there lived in Uruvelā the Jatilas, Brahman hermits with matted hair, worshipping the fire and keeping a fire-dragon; and Kassapa was their chief.

And Kassapa went to the Buddha on the next morning and said: "Why did the great Sakyamuni not come?"

Thou, Kassapa, art chief of the Jatilas.

It is, Kassapa, as if a potter made different vessels out of the same clay.
