Mahabharata
English[Kāyavya-carita(ṃ)]
(“the history of Kāyavya”): § 643b (Āpaddh.): There was a robber Kāyavya, born of a Kshatriya father and a Nishāda mother. K. was a practiser of kshatriya duties, conversant with the scriptures, free from cruelty, devoted to the brahmans, etc. Morning and evening he went deer-hunting
he was well conversant with all the practices of the Nishādas, and of all animals living in the forest, etc. Alone he could vanquish many hundreds of soldiers. He worshipped his old, blind, and deaf parents in the forest every day, etc. One day many thousands of robbers made him their leader, promising not to slay women, brahmans, etc. By abstaining from sin they obtained great prosperity. Kāyavya, though a robber, still succeeded in winning felicity in heaven* (XII, 135).
