【耆闍崛】《大論》云：「耆闍名鷲，崛名頭。是山頂似鷲。」《增一》：「佛告諸比丘：『此山久遠，同名靈鷲。』」《觀經疏》云：「諸聖仙靈依之而住。」《西域記》云：「宮城東北行三四里，至姞（渠乙）栗陀羅矩吒。此云鷲峯，亦云鷲臺。舊云耆闍崛，訛也。既棲鷲鳥，又類高臺。」應法師云：「案梵本無靈義，此鳥有靈，知人死活，故號靈鷲。」《婆沙》云：「其山三峯，如仰雞足，似狼之迹，亦名狼迹，又名普賢山、白墡山、僊人山、負重山。」

> \[Gṛdhrakūṭa\] The Great Treatise says: 'Gṛdhra means vulture, and kūṭa means peak. The peak of this mountain resembles a vulture.' The Ekottarika-āgama says: 'The Buddha told the bhikṣus: "From long ago, this mountain has always been called the Vulture Peak (Lingjiu)."' The Commentary on the Contemplation Sūtra says: 'Holy beings, immortals, and spirits dwell relying upon it.' The Record of the Western Regions says: 'Traveling three or four li northeast of the royal palace city brings one to Gṛdhrakūṭa. In the Tang language this means Vulture Peak or Vulture Terrace. Formerly called Qishejue, which is an error. Vultures roost here, and it also resembles a high terrace.' Dharma Master Huiying says: 'Examining the Sanskrit text, there is no sense of "spirit" (ling); rather, because this bird is spiritually prescient and knows whether humans will live or die, it is called the Numinous Vulture.' The Vibhāṣā says: 'This mountain has three peaks resembling an upturned cock's foot or the track of a wolf; it is therefore also named Wolf Track, and also called Samantabhadra Mountain, White Earth Mountain, Mountain of Immortals, and Burden-Bearing Mountain.'
