Kassapa

And the venerable Maha Kassapa left the high road, and sat himself down at the foot of a certain tree.

Buddha converted a tribe of them, and Kassapa, their chief, became one of his most prominent disciples.

It relates how the chamber in which a Brahman called Kassapa kept his sacred fire was haunted by a fire-breathing magical serpent.

Kassapa finally proposed that the Sangha should adopt without alteration or addition the rules made by the Buddha.
