Kassapa the Deva’s Son
Kassapa Sutta (SN 2:2)
Near Sāvatthi in the monastery… Standing to one side, Kassapa the deva’s son recited this verse in the Blessed One’s presence:
“A monk should have jhāna,
be released in mind,
if he wants the heart’s attainment:
knowing the arising & passing away of the world,
good in his awareness, independent,
aimed at that reward.”
