<b> <c c="#a00149">Kappitaka</c> </b> <br>He was upajjhāya to Upāli, and once lived in a cemetery near Vesāli. In the cemetery the group of six nuns buried the ashes of one of their leaders and erected a shrine near Kappitaka’s cell. The Elder, disturbed by the sound of their lamentations, broke the shrine and scattered the materials. The nuns, greatly angered, plotted to kill him, but he was warned by Upāli, and lay hidden elsewhere until the nuns had destroyed his cell and gone away under the impression that he was dead. The nuns blamed Upāli for upsetting their arrangements. <c c="#3b6bd3">Vin.iv.308</c> <br> <br> </deftext>
