Then out of fear of getting over run by his brother, hi built a fortress on a rock (the high ground) so that :1. access to him is hard2. he's on high ground and can see if an enemy force is coming far away.The wonder of Seegiriya was built out of fear and cowardice. So Kashyapa taking his own life is fitting.One thing though suicide is considered cowardly in our and most other cultures.In Japan's culture, definition of honor is far different and suicide in the form of hara-kiri is considered honorable (other forms of suicide, away from a battle field, are not considered honorable).</blockquote>
