Furthermore, south of Rājagṛha there are many śmaśānas (charnel grounds) where birds and beasts come to feed, and many vultures gather there; hence it is called Vulture Peak Mountain. The five mountains are: Elephant Head in the east, Horse Head in the south, Sheep Head in the west, Lion Head in the north, and Vulture Peak in the center. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.1.20) - [Next: 1.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.1.22) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707~en-mt.1.21) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [仁王護國般若經疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.1.27) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.1.21) · Pramāṇa
