I have not read Atthasālinī, Buddhaghosa’s commentary on the Dhammasangaṇī.
- But, in general, I do not trust Buddhaghosa’s Commentaries based on my reading of his “Visuddhimagga.” See “Buddhaghosa and Visuddhimagga – Historical Background“and “Buddhaghosa’s Visuddhimagga – A Focused Analysis.”
The sequence of events on Abhidhamma‘s development (listed in the comment) is generally correct.
- There is nothing more than those steps mentioned in the comment above.
- I don’t think discussing any of his Commentaries would be beneficial.
