I've no previous experience with how Google creates this kind of summary.
I'm not sure I understand where Google got that data from, to put in its summary -- "Sri Lanka" isn't given in any version of the history of the Wikipedia article.
There are modern Anuruddhas born in Sri Lanka (e.g. a cricketer) but that (mixing different people with the same name) seems like an unlikely or silly mistake for Google to make.
The image (of a statue) in the Google summary does comes from a different web site (not Wikipedia) though, so maybe Google does aggregate data from different sites somehow.
Based on this page I wonder if it's possible that Google prefers to scrape its data from Wikidata instead of from Wikipedia -- the Wikidata entry for Anuruddha doesn't include a birth place (it was in the Wikipedia article but not in the Persondata template when the Persondata template was migrated to Wikidata) so perhaps Google is aggregating from several sites, getting its information mixed up, or confusing it with a modern Anaruddha?
If you want to report a correction to Google's summary, perhaps you could try editing the Wikidata entry, and/or pressing the Feedback link on the Google summary.
