妙法蓮華經文句 1.65

1.65

「耆闍崛山」者，此翻靈鷲，亦云鷲頭，亦云狼跡，梁武云：「王鴡引詩人所詠關睢是也。」《爾雅》云：「似鵄。」又解，山峯似鷲，將峯名山。又云，山南有尸陀林，鷲食尸竟棲其山，時人呼為鷲山。又解，前佛今佛皆居此山，若佛滅後羅漢住，法滅支佛住，無支佛鬼神住。既是聖靈所居，總有三事，因呼為靈鷲山。有五精舍：鞞婆羅跋恕，此云天主穴；薩多般那求訶，此云七葉穴；因陀世羅求訶，此云蛇神山；薩簸恕魂直迦鉢婆羅，此云少獨力山；五是耆闍崛山。

"Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa": This is translated as Divine Vulture, also called Vulture Peak, and also called Wolf Traces. Emperor Wu of Liang said, "The osprey, which the poet sang of in the 'Guanju' poem, is this." The *Erya* states, "It resembles a kite." Another explanation is that the mountain peak resembles a vulture, and the mountain is named after the peak. It is also said that south of the mountain there is a charnel ground (śītavana); vultures, having eaten corpses, roost on this mountain, so the people of the time called it Vulture Mountain. Another explanation is that past Buddhas and the present Buddha all dwelt on this mountain. After a Buddha passes into extinction, arhats abide here; when the Dharma is extinct, pratyekabuddhas abide here; when there are no pratyekabuddhas, spirits and deities abide here. Since it is the dwelling place of holy spirits, all three matters are present, and hence it is called Divine Vulture Mountain. There are five vihāras: Vaibhāra-guhā, which is translated here as "Cave of the Lord of Heaven"; Saptaparṇa-guhā, which is translated here as "Seven-Leaf Cave"; Indrasāla-guhā, which is translated here as "Serpent Spirit Mountain"; Sarpaśauṇḍika-prāgbhāra, which is translated here as "Slight Solitary Strength Mountain"; and the fifth is Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa.
