Buddhaghosa2
Other人称小佛音，以别于同名的伟大注释家，为斯里兰卡僧人，著有两部作品，正是应他之请，佛音（1）才撰写了阿毗达磨注释书。
Called Culla Buddhaghosa to distinguish him from the greater. He was a native of Sri Lanka (Gv.67), and two works are ascribed to him (Gv.63) — the Jātattagīnidāna and the Sotattagīnidāna. The former probably refers to the Jātakaṭṭhakathā (P.L.C.126). It was at his request that Buddhaghosa (1) wrote his Commentaries to the Abhidhamma. Gv.68.
