俱舍論疏 11.13

11.13

「頌曰」，已下有四行頌，第二明九山也。「蘇迷盧」者，此云妙高。「踰健達羅」，此云持雙。此山頂上有其二道猶如車迹，山持二迹故名持雙。「伊沙馱羅」，此云持軸。山峯上聳猶如車軸，故名持軸。「竭地洛迦」，印度樹名，一此山寶樹形相似故，從似為名。「蘇達梨舍那」，此云善見。莊嚴殊妙，見者稱善，故名善見。「頞濕縛羯拏」，此云馬耳，此山上峯似馬耳也。「毘那怛迦」，此云象鼻，印度神名。山形似彼象鼻，故以名焉。「尼民達羅」，此是魚名，其魚㭰尖，山峯似魚𭪿，故以為名。後之兩頌，如文可知。

The verse says: Below this are four lines of verse; secondly, this explains the nine mountains. "Sumeru" is translated here as "Wondrously High". "Yugaṃdhara" is translated here as "Bearing a Yoke"; on the summit of this mountain there are two tracks like chariot ruts, and because the mountain bears these two tracks, it is named "Bearing a Yoke". "Īṣādhara" is translated here as "Bearing an Axle"; the mountain peak rises upright like a chariot axle, hence it is named "Bearing an Axle". "Khadiraka" is the Indian name of a tree; as the jewel trees of this mountain are similar in shape, it takes its name from this resemblance. "Sudarśana" is translated here as "Pleasing to Behold"; its adornments are wondrously exquisite, so that those who see it call it excellent, hence it is named "Pleasing to Behold". "Aśvakarṇa" is translated here as "Horse Ear"; the upper peak of this mountain resembles a horse's ear. "Vinataka" is translated here as "Elephant Trunk", which is the name of an Indian deity; the shape of the mountain resembles an elephant's trunk, hence it is named after it. "Nimiṃdhara" is the name of a fish; this fish has a sharp snout, and the mountain peak resembles the snout of this fish, hence it is named after it. The latter two verses may be understood from the text.
