6.134

刧比羅國: The correct Sanskrit sound is Kapilavastu. Old names were Kapilavastu-country or [simply] Jiāluó, which are all corruptions and abbreviations of the Sanskrit. This was the place where Śākyamuni Tathāgata descended to be born, the realm governed by King Śuddhodana. Within this country are Cock's Foot Mountain, Vipula Mountain, and the Pippala Stone Cave, where Mahākāśyapa and a thousand arhats compiled the sacred teachings of the Tripiṭaka.
