At one time the Buddha was staying near R\u0101jagaha, on the Isigili Mountain. There the Buddha addressed the mendicants, \u201cMendicants!\u201d \u201cVenerable sir,\u201d they replied. The Buddha said this: \u201cMendicants, do you see that Mount Vebh\u0101ra?\u201d \u201cYes, sir.\u201d \u201cIt used to have a different label and description. Do you see that Mount Pa\u1e47\u1e0dava?\u201d \u201cYes, sir.\u201d \u201cIt too used to have a different label and description. Do you see that Mount Vepulla?\u201d \u201cYes, sir.\u201d \u201cIt too used to have a different label and description. Do you see that Mount Vulture\u2019s Peak?\u201d \u201cYes, sir.\u201d \u201cIt too used to have a different label and description. Do you see that Mount Isigili?\u201d \u201cYes, sir.\u201d \u201cIt used to have exactly the same label and description. Once upon a time, five hundred independent Buddhas dwelt for a long time on this Isigili. They were seen entering the mountain, but after entering were seen no more. When people noticed this they said: \u2018That mountain swallows these seers!\u2019 That\u2019s how it came to be known as Isigili, the \u201cseer-swallower\u201d. I shall declare the names of the independent Buddhas; I shall extol the names of the independent Buddhas; I shall teach the names of the independent Buddhas. Listen and apply your mind well, I will speak.\u201d \u201cYes, sir,\u201d they replied. The Buddha said this: \u201cThe independent Buddhas who dwelt for a long time on this Isigili were named Ari\u1e6d\u1e6dha, Upari\u1e6d\u1e6dha, Tagarasikh\u012b, Yasassin, Sudassana, Piyadassin, Gandh\u0101ra, Pi\u1e47\u1e0dola, Up\u0101sabha, N\u012bta, Tatha, Sutav\u0101, and Bh\u0101vitatta. Those saintly beings, untroubled, <j>with no need for hope, who each achieved awakening independently; hear me extol their names, the supreme men, free of thorns.
