As in the case of Mātali and Sakka, Vissakamma is evidently the name of an office and not a personal name. Thus, in the Suruci Jātaka,²² Vissakamma is mentioned as a previous birth of Ananda, while, according to the Dhammapada Commentary,²³ the architect who helped Magha and his companions in their good works, was reborn as Vissakamma.
