c11.s2.46

Similarly of the following Buddhas. Whether at the close of the Buddhavamsa the same is directly said of Gotama Buddha, I cannot state at this moment. Improbable it is not; here, as also elsewhere, the traces of later legend-building may already be discernible in the most recent parts of the Pitakas themselves; a fact which naturally would not be able to shake the elsewhere acquired inference regarding the earlier and later form of representations of Buddha’s life.
