鷲峰（音就或名靈鷲或名鷲頭或名鷲臺皆隨俗言耳古曰耆闍崛乃梵語略也正云紇哩二合馱羅二合轉舌矩吒山既栖鷲鳥又類高臺因名鷲臺鷲鳥栖於峰上故曰鷲峰紇痕沒反也）。

鷲峰 (pronounced *jiù*; also named Divine Vulture, Vulture Head, or Vulture Terrace; all merely follow popular phrasing. Anciently called 耆闍崛, which is an abbreviated Sanskrit transcription; the correct form is *hṛ-da-ya-ku-ṭa* (紇哩二合馱羅二合轉舌矩吒) [Gṛdhrakūṭa]. Because this mountain is home to roosting vultures and also resembles a high terrace, it is named Vulture Terrace; because vultures roost upon its peaks, it is called Vulture Peak; 紇 is *hén* + *mò* fanqie).
