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. - [Previous: v2.c35.1596](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1596) - [Next: v2.c35.1598](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1598) - [Up: v2.c35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1597](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.1597) · Pramāṇa
