1. Anusissa. An ascetic. He was the chief student of the Bodhisatta Sarabhanga, who lived with him. He is identified with Ananda. J. iii.463, 469.

2. Anusissa. Probably the same as Anusissa (1). An ascetic and student of the Bodhisatta Jotipāla, who, in the latter part of the story, is identified with Sarabhanga, without any explanation being given. When various kings, together with Sakka, visited Sarabhanga to consult him on their doubts, it was Anusissa who, at the request of his brotherascetics, introduced them to the Bodhisatta. Here, too, he is identified with Ananda. J. v.133-40; 151.
