ATTHADASSI is mentioned as the author of a *Mañjūsē*.⁴⁶ J. Liyanaratne has convincingly demonstrated that the references in a number of publications to this *Mañjūsē* by Atthadassi derive from an incorrect statement by G.P. Malalasekera,⁴⁷ who based himself on a publication of D.M. De Z. Wickremasinghe,⁴⁸ who cites in his turn a report by W.R. Kynsey.⁴⁹ The attribution of the *Bhesajjamañjūsā* to Atthadassi has therefore no factual basis.
