decomes free from miseries.
Kasyapa | According to the above-named tenets, I have done seven divine lives in déva-lokas and during the seventh human life, I have also done seven incarnations. The following is the explanation:
1. During the seventh human life, I was Udāyi Kundiyayana. I left off the body of Uạāyi Kuodiyāyana in the Manạita-kukşi Caitya outside Rajagraha Nagara, and took incarnation in the body of Ainéyaka and I incarnated there for twenty-two years.
2. I left the body of Aiņéyaka in Candrăvatarana Caitya of Uddanda Nagara and took incarnation in the body of Mallârāma and remained there for twenty-one years.
3. I left the body of Maltārāma in Arga Mandıra of Campa Nagarî, and I incarnated in the body of Mālya Pandita and rema ined there, for twenty years.
4. I left the body of Mālya Pandita in Kāma Mahāvana of Vărāṇasi Nagari and I incarnated in the body of Roha and remained there for nineteen years.
5. I left the body of Roha in Pattakalaya Caitya of Alambhika and I incarnated in the body of Bhāradvāja and remained there, for eighteen years.
6. I left the body of Bháradvaja and entered the body of Arjuna Gautama-putra in Kaundiyāyana Caitya of Vaiśālt and remained there, for seventeen years.
7. I have left the body of Gautama Arjuna, and entered the stable, strong, and adventurous body of Cośālaka in the potteryshop of Hālähalā at Śrâvasti. I will remain in this body for sixteen years. I will, then be perfectly free from all misery.
Ārya Käsyapa I Now, you must have known who I am. You are calling me by the name of Gośālaka but really speaking I am Udãyî Kundiyāyana incarnated in the body of Gosālaka '.
