The Discourse at Isigili
133.
Thus have I heard -
On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Rājagaha on the Isigili mountain.
There the Blessed One addressed the monks thus:
"Monks."
"Venerable sir," those monks assented to the Blessed One.
The Blessed One said this:
"Do you see, monks, that Vebhāra mountain?" "Yes, venerable sir." "For this Vebhāra mountain too, monks, there was indeed a different designation, a different description."
"Do you see, monks, that Paṇḍava mountain?" "Yes, venerable sir." "For this Paṇḍava mountain too, monks, there was indeed a different designation, a different description."
"Do you see, monks, that Vepulla mountain?" "Yes, venerable sir." "For this Vepulla mountain too, monks, there was indeed a different designation, a different description."
"Do you see, monks, that Vulture's Peak mountain?" "Yes, venerable sir." "For this Vulture's Peak mountain too, monks, there was indeed a different designation, a different description."
"Do you see, monks, this Isigili mountain?" "Yes, venerable sir." "But for this Isigili mountain, monks, this very designation was, this very description."
"Once in the past, monks, five hundred Individually Enlightened Ones were dwellers for a long time on this Isigili mountain. They were seen entering this mountain, but having entered, they were not seen. People, having seen him, said thus: 'This mountain swallows these sages'; thus the designation 'Isigili, Isigili' arose. I will tell, monks, the names of the Individually Enlightened Ones; I will explain, monks, the names of the Individually Enlightened Ones; I will teach, monks, the names of the Individually Enlightened Ones. Listen to that, pay close attention; I will speak." "Yes, venerable sir," those monks assented to the Blessed One. The Blessed One said this:

Those great sages who have gone beyond all attachment,
Pay homage to those who have attained final Nibbāna, the immeasurable.
