The fourteenth of the twenty-four Buddhas.

He was born in Sobhana in the Sucindhanu pleasance, his parents being Sāgara and Sudassanā (Bu.xv; BuA.178 ff). He was so called because at his birth people recovered long-buried treasures.

His wife was Visākhā and his son Sena (Sela according to the Buddhavaṃsa Commentary). He lived for 10,000 years as a householder in three palaces — Amaragiri, Suragiri, and Girivāhana. He left home on a horse called Sudassana.

His penance lasted eight months, and his meal of milk-rice was given by a nāga woman, Sucindharā. A nāga, Dhammaruci, gave him the grass which he spread at the foot of the campaka tree, where he reached Enlightenment.

His first discourse was taught in the Anomā-park near Anoma.

His chief disciples were Santa, the king’s son, and Upasanta, son of the chaplain of Sucandaka.

His chief women disciples were Dhammā and Sudhammā. Abhaya was his attendant, and his patrons were Nakula and Nisabha among the laymen, and Makilā and Sunandā among the lay-women.

The Bodhisatta was a Jaṭila, Susīma of Campaka, and he offered the Buddha a canopy of flowers brought from the deva-world.

Atthadassī died at the age of 100,000 years at Anomārāma in Anupama and his relics were scattered in various places.

He appeared in the Maṇḍakappa, in the company of two others, Piyadassī and Dhammadassī. J.i.39.
