The deity Kassapa speaks of how a mendicant should be a meditator, peaceful and free.At Sāvatthī. Standing to one side, the god Kassapa recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence: “Suppose a mendicant is a meditator, freed in mind. If they want to reach the heart’s peace, having known the arising and passing of the world, healthy-minded, independent, that is their reward.”
