'''Buddhadatta''' Thera was a 5th-century [[Theravada]] Buddhist writer from the town of Uragapura in the [[Chola kingdom]] of [[South India]].<ref name = Potter>Potter, Karl H; Encyclopedia of Indian Philosophies: Buddhist philosophy from 350 to 600 A.D. pg 216</ref> He wrote many of his works in the Bhūtamangalagāma monastery and his patron was Accutavikkanta of the Kambala dynasty. Buddhadatta traveled to Sri Lanka's Mahāvihāra in [[Anurādhapura]] to study and translate the commentaries on the Buddha's teachings from [[Sinhala language|Sinhalese]] to [[Pali]]. He is said to have met [[Buddhagosa]] at sea while returning to India, his work unfinished. Buddhadatta asked Buddhagosa to send him his translations and commentaries and used them in the writing of his [[Abhidhammāvatāra]].<ref name = Potter/> The [[Abhidhammāvatāra]] (Pali: “The Coming of the Abhidhamma”) is one of the earliest and most important [[Abhidhamma]] manuals. It is a systematized overview of the doctrines in the [[Abhidhamma]] Pitaka, written largely in 24 verse chapters. Buddhadatta's other works include the Vinaya-Vinicchaya (“Analysis of the Vinaya”), the Uttara-Vinicchaya, the Rūpārūpa-Vibhāga.
