Buddhadatta
Person南印度 Uragapura 的一位学问僧，曾于 Anurādhapura 大寺（Mahāvihāra）修学，相传与佛音尊者有过会面，著有《律决断》（Vinayavinicchaya）《阿毗达摩入门》（Abhidhammāvatāra）等多部论著。
He lived in Uragapura in South India and wrote his works in the monastery of Bhūtamaṅgalagāma in the Coḷa country, his patron being Accutavikkama.
He studied, however, at the Mahāvihāra in Anurādhapura. Tradition says (e.g., SadS., p.55) that he met Buddhaghosa.
Buddhadatta’s works include the Vinayavinicchaya, the Uttaravinicchaya, the Abhidhammāvatāra and the Rūpārūpavibhāga. The Madhuratthavilāsinī and the Jinālāṅkāra are also sometimes ascribed to him. Svd.1195,1199; Gv.59,66,69.
