2. Buddhaghosa.—Called Culla-Buddhaghosa to distinguish him from the greater. He was a native of Ceylon,¹ and two works are ascribed to him²—the Jātattagīnidāna and the Sotattagīnidāna. The former probably refers to the Jātakaṭṭhakathā.³ It was at his request that Buddhaghosa (1) wrote his Commentaries to the Abhidhamma.⁴
