[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.'
