EnglishKāśyapa (= Pali Kassapa
Tib. ḥod sruṅs, light-guard, e.g. on Mvy 〔93〕),
(1) n. of a former Buddha, the one immediately preceding Śākyamuni: often mentioned as having predicted the latter, and esp. as one of a group of three, the others being Krakucchanda and Kanakamuni, or equivalents
see the former for list of such references
also alone (it being not always certain that this particular Buddha is meant, cf. Mv 〔i.58.8〕, ref. to 90, 000 Buddhas of this name), Mv 〔i.307.4 ff.〕

(2) n. of one of Buddhaʼs leading disciples, also called Mahā-k° (= Pali Kassapa or Mahā-k°), q.v.
there is no doubt that the same person is, as a rule at least, meant by the two forms, notably Kā° in Mvy 〔1031〕

K. is given the title dhutaguṇāgrapāraga Mv 〔i.64.14 (ff.)〕, where he is involved as an interlocutor at the First Council, perhaps its presiding officer (as in Pali, DPPN)
he then and there causes Kātyāyana to discourse on the 10 bhūmi
similarly Divy 〔61.28〕 calls him dhūtaguṇa-vādinām agro, and cf. Pali AN 〔i.23.19〕 where Mahākassapa is dhutavādānaṃ (v.l. dhūtaṅgadharānaṃ) agga
mentioned in Candropama Sūtra, Hoernle MR 〔40 ff.〕, = Pali SN 〔ii.197 ff.〕 where (Mahā) Kassapa corresponds
among mahāśrāvakas, Divy 〔182.22〕
〔268.6〕
in Divy 〔573.8〕 it appears, strangely, that āryakāśyapasya is an epithet of (the next word) Kātyāyanasya (pañcaśataparivārasya
in the story which follows only Mahākātyāyana appears!)
it is not clear whether the same person is meant by āyuṣmān daśabalaḥ Kāśyapaḥ Divy 〔275.5〕, and 7 daśabala-Kāś°
* no monk of this title is recorded in Pali
in Vv. comm. 〔148.24〕 Kassapassa dasabalassa kāle refers to the Buddha Kāś°, tho I find no evidence to support PTSD and DPPN in stating that dasabala was ‘especially’ an epithet of his, ‘to distinguish him from other Kassapas’ as DPPN says
dasabala (BHS daśa°) of course usually refers to a Buddha, and in Pali generally to the B. Gotama
there are at least four other disciples of his having this name, see Uruvilvā-k°, Kumāra-k°, Gayā-k°, Nadī-k°
(3) n. of an ascetic (ṛṣi) who once lived in the Himālaya: Mv 〔ii.106.16〕, a previous birth of Mahākāśyapa, q.v., 〔114.12〕
(4) n. of another (?) ascetic (ṛṣi) who lived in the hermitage sāhaṃjanī (q.v.
this is not mentioned in connection with the prec. Kā°, and the stories told of them are different): Mv 〔iii.143.13 ff.〕 (in story of Ekaśṛṅga and Nalinī
= Pali Kassapa 9 in DPPN)
prob. the same (at least also living in Sāhaṃjanī) Mv 〔iii.362.14〕
〔363.19〕. See also Pūraṇa Kāśyapa
Jaṅghā-k°
Vṛddha-k°. —*Correction in proof: MPS 〔49.16〕 names four mahāsthavirāḥ in the world (pṛthivyāṃ) at the time of Buddhaʼs death
two of them were Daśabala-Kāśyapa (one word) and Mahā-Kāśyapa. This settles the above question
D.K. is a separate person.

Mahabharata
EnglishKāśyapa, a ṛshi and prajāpati, son of Marīci. § 27 (cf. Āstīkap.): Sauti related: Kadrū and Vinatā, the daughters of Prajāpati, obtained from their husband K. the boon that Kadrū would have 1, 000 snakes as her offspring, and Vinatā two sons, who would surpass the 1, 000 sons of Kadrū. Then K. went to the forest. After a long time Kadrū brought forth 1, 000 eggs and Vinatā two. After 500 years the 1, 000 eggs of Kadrū burst, but the twins of Vinatā did not yet appear. Vinatā then broke one of the eggs, and out came Aruṇa (who afterwards became the charioteer of the Sun (Sūrya)). His lower extremities were yet undeveloped, and he cursed his mother, saying that she should serve as a slave, but be delivered by her other son, if she would wait 500 years patiently without breaking the egg.

पुराणम्
Englishकाश्यप १ / KĀŚYAPA I. (kaṇva).1) General. Two sages kaśyapa and kāśyapa are mentioned in the Purāṇas, and due to the close similarity in the names in some Purāṇas the two names are used one for the other. There is, therefore, considerable difficulty in distinguishing the one from the other and unerringly hitting upon the right person in certain contexts.
There is a very ancient sage the first cause or the original father of all living beings in the universe. He is described, in most of the Purāṇas, as the grandson of brahmā and the son of marīci. He was the husband of the original or first mothers of living beings, called diti and aditi. The interpretation that he was called kaśyapa as he used to drink Kaśyam (liquor) is not founded on facts. No purāṇa refers to him as a drunkard.
The sage called kāśyapa was the foster father of śakuntalā. The statement that he was called kāśyapa as he was born in the dynasty of kaśyapa is also not correct. kaṇva was not born in the dynasty of kaśyapa. The genealogy of kāśyapa is as follows:2) Genealogy. Descended from viṣṇu thus: brahmā-atri--candra--budha--purūravas--āyus--nahuṣa-yayāti--puru--janamejaya--prācinvān--pravīra-namasyu--vītabhaya--śuṇḍu--bahuvidha--saṁyāti -rahovādī--raudrāśva--matināra--Prītiratha-medhātithi--kaṇva (kāśyapa).
medhātithi was Kaṇva's father. (śānti Parva, Chapter 208, Verse 27). According to the agni purāṇa a son called kaṇva was born (kāśyapa) to medhātithi, son of King Prītiratha of the puru dynasty. But, nothing about the family matters of kaṇva is mentioned therein. In the mahābhārata itself the name kāśyapa is often used instead of kaṇva. From the above facts it may be understood that kaṇva was born as a prince, and that later on, he became a sage. Moreover, the agni purāṇa says that santurodha, the brother of Kaṇva's father, was the father of duṣyanta. According to that kāśyapa and duṣyanta were the sons of brothers, kāśyapa being that of the elder one. For the time being the above are the only reasonable inferences, and the truth has to be found out by further researches. But, one thing is certain according to the genealogy, that kāśyapa was born twenty generations after kaśyapa.3) kāśyapa and takṣaka. The story is told in the 2nd skandha of devī bhāgavata and in the Ādi Parva of bhārata that takṣaka set out to bite King parīkṣit and kāśyapa to cure him of Takṣaka's poison, but that takṣaka bribed kāśyapa off his mission to save the King. But, the story as such is unfounded. It was kaśyapa and not kāśyapa whom brahmā had taught the science of the treatment and cure of poison (see under kaśyapa) and, therefore, it should be kaśyapa whom takṣaka bribed.4) kaśyapa and śakuntalā. See under KA. VA.5) kāśyapa and ṛṣyaśṛṅga. Father of ṛṣyaśṛṅga was one kāśyapa
may be kaśyapa or kāśyapa. The greater possibility is for kāśyapa to be the father. (See under ṛṣyaśṛṅga).6) After a yajña Viśvakarman made a land-gift to kāśyapa once. (See under kaṇva).
काश्यप २ / KĀŚYAPA II. Priest of vasudeva
this kāśyapa lived for years as a good friend of the pāṇḍavas. He is considered to be a very distinguished ascetic. (aśvamedha Parva, Chapter 16).
काश्यप ३ / KĀŚYAPA III. Son of Sage kaśyapa. This kāśyapa was member of Indra's assembly. (Sabhā Parva, Chapter 7). He was present at the yajña conducted by emperor pṛthu.
काश्यप ४ / KĀŚYAPA IV. An agni, the son of kaśyapa. Pāñcajaṇya was born from the five Agnis, kāśyapa, vasiṣṭha, prāṇa, aṅgiras and cyavana, all of whom were sons of kaśyapa. (Vana Parva, Chapter 220).
काश्यप ५ / KĀŚYAPA V. A haughty vaiśya once felled to the ground a brahmin youth called kāśyapa by hitting him with his chariot. (See under indra, para 38).
काश्यप ६ / KĀŚYAPA VI. Sons of kaśyapa like vibhāṇḍaka. Rājadharman, viśvāvasu, indra, āditya and vasu, other devas and other living beings born in Kaśyapa's dynasty--all these are also called Kāśyapas.
