Anakhatavong or Anāgata Vamsa means the family of the Buddha in the future tells the previous existences of Gotama Buddha. Before becoming the Buddha, he was born as the Bodhisatta and had practiced the perfections for existences. Bodhisatta means the person who will become a Buddha in the future. The Buddha’s previous lives are counted since he was born as Hermit Sumedha. When the hermit saw the six rays and 32 great characteristics of Dipamkara Buddha, he was faithful in him and decided to offer his body by paving over a mud pond for the Buddha walked over. He set his wish to attain enlightenment and become a Buddha in the future. Dipamkara Buddha stood in front of the hermit and told that you all look at this hermit he will become a Buddha in this world in the period of asongkhai (countless) from now whose name is Gotama.
