[Sri Pandavacharitra, Slokas 23 to 90] 11. The story of Kapila, who was driven by increasing greed, as described in the Sri Uttaraadhyayana Brihadvrutti.
At that time, in the city of Kosambi, King Jitasattu, a Brahmin named Kasava, proficient in fourteen branches of knowledge, was highly respected by the king. He was wealthy and well-off. His wife's name was Jasa. Their son was named Kavila. Kasava, the father of Kavila, passed away when Kavila was still young. The king gave the boy a gift of a chariot, which he used to travel around. One day, while Kavila was riding in the chariot, his mother, Jasa, was distressed. Kavila asked her, "Mother, why are you so sad?" She replied, "My dear, your father was a learned man. I wish you could be like him." Kavila said, "I want to learn too." Jasa said, "I don't know anyone who can teach you." She then said, "There is a learned Brahmin named Indadatta in the city of Savatthi. He can teach you." Kavila went to Savatthi and met Indadatta. Indadatta asked him, "Who are you?" Kavila told him his story. Indadatta agreed to teach him. There was a young man named Salibhadda who was also studying with Indadatta. He was jealous of Kavila and tried to harm him. He even tried to kill him. Kavila was a cheerful person and remained friendly with Salibhadda. He said to him, "You are my brother. I don't hold any grudge against you. Don't be angry with me. I am going to eat with my friends. You are welcome to join us." Another servant girl was very fond of Salibhadda. She was upset with Kavila and tried to harm him. She was unable to do so
