 Holy Mountain's History of Lion Rock
Kasyapa was convinced that his father was hiding a cache of treasure from him, and demanded that the King reveal where this wealth was hidden.
The reign of King Dhatusena came to an abrupt end in 477 A.D. when his throne was seized by Kasyapa, his son by a wife of unequal birth.
It is not known whether Kasyapa knew of the existence of the beauties hidden just below his eyrie, but what is known is that the King came to a sticky end, perhaps deservedly.

They were Kasyapa, his eldest son by a lesser queen, his second son Moggallana by his anointed queen and Migara son of the King's sister, who was the Chief of the Army and to whom the king's only daughter Anudhi was married.
The condemned king before his death asked for one favour from Kasyapa that of leave to hear a sermon by the High Priest, his uncle Mahanama and bathe in the waters of Kalawewa for the last time.
When the favour was granted and the king fulfilled his desire he asked the persecutors to kill him in any manner they pleased.

 The Story of Sigiriya
Kasyapa also renovated the ancient monastery named Isirimana (sometimes called Vessagiri) and bequeathed it to the Mahaviharaya, even though he himself was an adherent of the Mahayana doctrines.
Kasyapa also established free ports to attract more merchants to the ports of Sri Lanka.
The following story of Kasyapa as obtained from the documents of Ananda-Sthavira, translated by Senarath Paranavitana, differs from the story that many learned as school children; that King Datusena had been plastered alive to a wall by his son Kasyapa who later died in battle facing his brother Moggallana.

 Maha-kasyapa
"There was a Kasyapa Buddha, anterior to Sakyamuni.
But this Maha-kasyapa was a Brahman of Magadha, who was converted by Buddha, and became one of his disciples.
He is generally known as Maha (Great) Kasyapa, possibly because so many people of that name figure in Buddhist texts.

Kasyapa now thought: "I am sure I'll get killed by my younger brother, better to kill myself." He then cut his throat with his own hand and died.
Geiger notes: "According to Chinese sources another embassy came from Ceylon to China, sent by King Kia-che, i.e., Kasyapa, in the year 527 A.D." Geiger says that "it is impossible that this could be Kassapa I," because according to him Kasyapa reigned in 478-96 CE (473-91 according to the University of Ceylon History).
Dhatusena had two sons, Kassapa (Kasyapa), by a mother of unequal birth, and the mighty Mugalan, by a mother of equal caste, and also a charming daughter, who was dear to him as his life.

 Chapter Sixteen
Kasyapa Muni therefore inquired from his wife whether the principles of religion, economic development and sense gratification were being properly followed in terms of the sastric injunctions.
Kasyapa Muni met his wife, Aditi, in the heavenly planets, but the same misconception extends throughout the entire universe and is also here on earth.
When Aditi then expressed her desire to worship Lord Vasudeva, Prajapati Kasyapa told her about a process of worship known as payo-vrata, which is executed in twelve days.
