¹ Vin. ii. 180 f.; DhA. i. 133; iv. 124, etc.; but according to Northern sources (Rockhill, p. 13) he was son of Dronodana; according to ThagA. (ii. 123) Ānanda was a brother (or, at least, a step-brother) of Mahānāma, for there Ānanda’s father is given as Amitodana. But see MA. i. 289, where Mahānāma’s father is called Sukkodana and Ānanda’s Amitodana.
