Kappa-sutta (Sanskrit, Kalpa-sutra). Directions for the observance of the quadrimensial Jain fast during partly the rainy and partly the autumn season; it is commonly called Vassa or the rainy season fast. The duties to be observed are treated under ten heads, each of which is called & Kalpa. The duties are : 1 st, Achelalaya or abstinence from raiment: some hold white clothes not to come under the prohibition; 2 nd, Auddesika, living in the society of pious hermits; 3 rd, Sayyatara, abstinence from bedding; 4 th, Rajapinda, abstinence from rich dishes or the society of the kings and great men; 5 th, Kritikarma, society of pious men ; 6 th, Vratani, frequent special, but optional, fasts; 7 th, Purusha-jyeshtha, conduct like seniors ; 8 th, Pratikrama, morning and evening exercise; 9 th, Masakalpa, avoidance of attachment likely to result from constant association with any object; 10 th, Paryushana, uniform occupation of the same abode during the currency of the fast. According to some, these Kalpas are reduced to six. The work treats of each of these Kalpas at length, and illustrates its themes by reciting many legends, drawing them frequently from the lives of the last three great Jinas. The work is in Magadhi.
