Kashyapa in Buddhism[edit]

I am familiar with Kashyapa as the name of a previous historical Buddha but a) can we have a citation please and b) might that fact be better put in a section like 'Kashyapa in Buddhism' since the bulk of this article is about the Hindu Kashyapa Zero sharp 04:58, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted the notion that Kashyapa was the name of the first Buddha. This is false. -Anon

Unsubstantiaited?[edit]

" It can be safely assumed that there were many Kashyaps and the name indicates a status and not just one individual." Can someone provide a reference for this statement or delete it>? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.223.136.186 (talk) 07:24, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No linkage between kashyap rishi and suryavanshi[edit]

This is irrelevant thoughts and large number of people wants to increase their social status to make linkage between kashyap rishi Pandit4580 (talk) 10:46, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Parashurama killed Kshatriyas 21 times , gave land to kashyap rishi ( according to Ramayana and bhagwat purana ) , Kshatriya is the bigger enemy of Lord parshurama . Then no linkage between kashyap rishi to suryavanshi ( Kshatriya )

Whole Hindu mythology says parshuramas biggest enemy was Kshatriya , Pandit4580 (talk) 10:53, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A large section of peoples of Kshatriya always try to increase their social status , relate with the kashyap maharishi , but Strength doesn't change the truth. Pandit4580 (talk) 10:57, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is your own original research.

The portion you're trying to remove is one of the few sourced statements in the article. There are plenty of other sources (e.g. 1, 2) that describe this mythological narrative: Vivasvan (the father of the current Manu and a member of solar dynasty) was born to Aditi and Kashyapa.

If you have a reliable source that disputes this claim, feel free to add it to the article. utcursch | talk 14:37, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Multan and Kasyapa from a WP:Fringe source[edit]

@Willard84: There is a broad consensus in secondary and tertiary high quality sources that Kashmir has been named after Kashyapa. Please don't move it. On Multan, the source you added is non-RS/fringe-y; see its strange claims about Vedas and "at least 2500 BC", whole of Afghanistan being Buddhist centuries after invasions began, Arrian came with the troops of Alexander the Great, etc over pages 66-72. All of this is unscholarly, WP:FRINGE and unacceptable in wikipedia. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 17:37, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
