In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesThe name occurs in the Samantapasadika (iii.680), in a discussion as to what is and what is not, kappiya for the monks. Monks should not accept or use a pond or any such thing, unless it has been properly gifted to them.
But if the real owners of the pond, etc., or their heirs, or, if no heirs exist, the chief of the district, having discovered that the pond was being used by monks, were to give it to the monks, then the gift becomes kappiya, as in the case of the bucket of water taken by the monk of Cittalapabbata and Alandanagarajamahesi - evidently meaning that the water was later given to the monk by the mahesi, thereby making it kappiya.
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
