13. Ānanda.—Teacher of Buddhappiya, author of the Rūpasiddhi. He was a native of Ceylon, for Buddhappiya refers to him as “Tambapaṇṇidhaja.” He too belonged to the Vanavāsi sect and wrote a Siṃhalese interverbal translation to Piyadassi’s Pada-Sādhana and another to the Khudda-Sikkhā. He was a disciple of Udumbaragiri Medhaṅkara, pupil of Sāriputta, and he probably lived in the time of Vijayabāhu III.¹
