王有四子。一名面光。二名象食。三名路指。四名莊嚴(案彌沙塞四子名。與此各異。莊嚴是白淨王所承也)其王四子少有所犯。王擯出國。到雪山邊。住直樹林中。其四子母。及諸家屬皆追念之。即共集議。詣懿摩王所白言。大王當知。我與四子別久。欲往看視。王即告曰。欲往隨意。時母眷屬聞王教已。即詣雪山。至直樹林。到四子所。時諸母等各為其婚。後懿摩王聞四子生子端正。王即歡喜而發此言。此真釋子。能自存立。因此名釋。

The king had four sons: the first was named Facelight (Ulāmukha), the second Elephant-Food (Hathinīka), the third Road-Finger (Aṅgīrasa), and the fourth Adornment (Kāraṇḍaka). (Sengyou notes: The names of the four sons in the Mahīśāsaka Vinaya differ from this; Adornment is the one from whom King Śuddhodana was descended.) When the king's four sons committed a minor fault, the king banished them from the realm. They went to the side of the Snowy Mountains (Himālaya) and lived in an oak/śāka forest. The mothers of the four sons and the clan members all longed for them, and together held a council, went to King *Iṣīma, and said: "The Great King should know, we have been separated from the four sons for a long time and wish to go visit them." The king then told them: "Go as you wish." Having heard the king's instruction, the mothers and their relatives immediately went to the Snowy Mountains, arrived at the oak/śāka forest, and reached the four sons. Then the mothers each arranged marriages for them. Later, King *Iṣīma heard that the four sons had begotten handsome children. The king was delighted and uttered these words: "These are true Śākyas (capable ones), able to establish themselves!" For this reason they were named Śākya.
