Isigilisutta

Reflexionando sobre los cambios que incluso los rasgos geográficos experimentan, el Buddha relata luego los nombres de sabios del pasado que han vivido en el monte Isigili, cerca de Rājagaha.

So I have heard.*This is a devotional sutta that lists the names of sages of the past. It is recited as a protection chant in Sri Lanka.

Moreover, only three of the names are clearly the same: Ariṭṭha, Upariṭṭha, and Sudassana (EA 38.7 at T ii 723a–c). | Ñāṇamoḷī and Bodhi both rightly note that it is difficult to distinguish names from attributes without the commentary. Yet the commentary leaves many problems unsolved, as it omits many names. At one time the BuddhaBuddhaEl nombre dado a quien redescubre por sí mismo el sendero liberador del Dhamma, tras un largo período de haber sido olvidado por el mundo. Según la tradición, una larga línea de Buddhas se extiende hasta el pasado distante. El Buddha más reciente nació como Siddhattha Gotama en la India alrededor del año 500 a.e.c. Un joven bien educado y acomodado, renunció a su familia y su herencia principesca en la flor de la vida para buscar la verdadera libertad y el fin del sufrimiento (dukkha). Después de siete años de austeridades en el bosque, redescubrió el «camino medio» y alcanzó su meta, convirtiéndose en el Buddha.Ver en el glosario was staying near Rājagaha, on the Isigili Mountain.*Rājagaha is surrounded by an extensive range of hills, upon which ascetics of various kinds could be found striving.

Once upon a time, five hundred Independent Buddhas dwelt for a long time on this Isigili.*The concept of the paccekabuddha allows that there were awakened sages in the long periods of time when there is no sambuddha such as Gotama. Both are Buddhas in the sense of being awakened, but they differ in their relation to others. It is sometimes said that they do not teach, but the tradition attributes to them a number of sayings (notably Snp 1.3). They are sometimes said to be “solitary”, but here 500 dwell on the same hill, while pacceka Brahmās appear in pairs (SN 6.6:1.3). Compare Bu NP 9:1.36.1, where “independent” funds are set up for “independent” robes (rather than combining them); the same idea occurs at AN 11.16:11.2. Likewise, SN 1.37:1.7 speaks of “independent” verses. Thus the burden of sense in the Pali is that pacceka means “independent’, which here has the sense of not forming a fourfold community, but simply living and practicing independently. They were seen entering the mountain, but after entering were seen no more. When people noticed this they said: ‘That mountain swallows these seers!’ That’s how it came to be known as Isigili, the “seer-swallower”.*This etymology is a deliberate pun, since the obvious explanation would be that gili is simply giri (“mountain”), as Pali r becomes l in the Magadhan dialect. This passage is not found in the Chinese parallel.

Bhūtapubbaṁ, bhikkhave, pañca paccekabuddhasatāni imasmiṁ isigilismiṁ pabbate ciranivāsino ahesuṁ. Te imaṁ pabbataṁ pavisantā dissanti, paviṭṭhā na dissanti. Tamenaṁ manussā disvā evamāhaṁsu: ‘ayaṁ pabbato ime isī gilatī’ti;*isī → isayo (mr) ‘isigili isigili’ tveva samaññā udapādi.

I shall declare the names of the Independent Buddhas;*Mahāvastu 21 lists many past sambuddhas, among whom we find names recorded here as paccekabuddhas, including Aparājita, Supatiṭṭhita, Bandhumā, Ariṭṭha, Tagarasikhī, Tissa, Sikhin, Accutagāma, Asayha, Uppala, Sudassana, Ketu, Jayanta, and Uttara. 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.”*I give the probable meaning of each name, and attempt, perhaps unwisely, to locate other sages of the past with similar names. In almost every case it is impossible to establish such links with any confidence, due to the lack of contextual details, the prevalence of common names used by many people, the use of names based on places or doctrinal concepts, and so on. Nonetheless, certain patterns emerge, especially the fact that several of the names seem to be shared with Jain tīrthaṅkaras. These are the twenty-four founding fathers of Jainism through the ages, like the Buddhist concept of past Buddhas. As many as eight names might be shared with tīrthaṅkaras, while several others might be other Jain sages. Even the name of the sutta itself is the name of a sage Isigiri in Isibhāsiyāiṁ 34. It could be that both Buddhism and Jainism drew on shared traditions of ancient sages, but again, these similarities are all tentative at best.

“The independent Buddhas who dwelt for a long time on this Isigili were named Ariṭṭha,*An agent of Kuvera has this name (meaning “indestructible”) at DN 32:7.47, where it is next to Nemi (below at MN 116:6.7). Ariṭṭha and Nemi often appear compounded in Sanskrit as Ariṣṭanemi. This was the name of a past Buddha (Mahāvastu 1.140), the 22nd Jain tīrthaṅkara (Kalpasūtra 170–183), and a Brahmanical sage of remarkable power (Mahābhārata 3.182.8c). Ariṣṭanemi Tārkṣya, although a mythical being, was said to have composed Rig Veda 10.178. Upariṭṭha,*This was the name of Anuruddha in a past life as an ascetic (Thag 16.9:19.4), although it couldn’t be the same person, since Independent Buddhas are not reborn. It means “son of Ariṭṭha”. Tagarasikhī,*Also named in SN 3.20, Ud 5.3, and Ja 390, which makes him somewhat of a celebrity by paccekabuddha standards. His name means “jasmine-crested”. Yasassin,*“Renowned”. Sudassana,*“Good-looking”. Piyadassin,*Meaning “one who looks kindly”, this was the favored epithet of King Ashoka. Gandhāra,*Elsewhere known as a nation famed for horses, located around modern Afghanistan (“Kandahar”, AN 3.70:28.2) and its capital (DN 16:6.28.6). It was named after its founder, but he is otherwise not known as a sage. This could be any sage from Gandhāra (eg. Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra 10.11.9; see Ja 406). Below we find several place names, which likewise probably refer to sages from those places. Piṇḍola,*Meaning “alms-gatherer”, a Bhāradvāja of this name was a famous monk. Upāsabha,*Āsabha or usabha (“bull”) is a common name; this is “son of Bull”. Nīta, Tatha, Sutavā, and Bhāvitatta.

“The independent Buddhas who dwelt for a long time on this Isigili were named Ariṭṭha,*An agent of Kuvera has this name (meaning “indestructible”) at DN 32:7.47, where it is next to Nemi (below at MN 116:6.7). Ariṭṭha and Nemi often appear compounded in Sanskrit as Ariṣṭanemi. This was the name of a past Buddha (Mahāvastu 1.140), the 22nd Jain tīrthaṅkara (Kalpasūtra 170–183), and a Brahmanical sage of remarkable power (Mahābhārata 3.182.8c).

Ketumbharāga, Mātaṅga, and AriyaariyaNoble, espiritualmente elevado o propio de quienes han visto el Dhamma. En los textos budistas, ariya no indica nobleza social, casta ni estatus mundano, sino una cualidad vinculada al despertar, al sendero y a la realización directa. Puede calificar a personas, enseñanzas, verdades o caminos: ariya-puggala (persona noble); ariya-sacca (verdad noble); ariya aṭṭhaṅgika magga (Noble Sendero Óctuple). En algunos contextos también tiene el matiz de aquello que ennoblece a quien lo realiza o practica.Ver en el glosario,*Ketumbharāga is “cloud-colored”. | Mātaṅga (“one who goes where they wish”, i.e. “elephant”) is the name of an outcast who became a sage (Skandapurāṇa 5.2.60). In other Buddhist versions of this story, he ascends to the Brahmā realm (Snp 1.7:26.1), in which case he is identified with the Bodhisatta (Ja 497). This contradicts the present sutta, for a paccekabuddha is not reborn anywhere. Either there were several sages of this name, or else the memory of a past sage was rather vaguely specified. In the Jain Isibhāsiyāiṁ chapter 26, he criticizes so-called Brahmins who practice violence. See too note on MN 56:13.27. | A sage named Ariya is found in Isibhāsiyāiṁ 19, where he teaches a doctrine of “civility”. then Accuta, Accutagāma, and Byāmaka,*Accuta (“unfallen”) is a name of Agni (Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa 1.6.1.6) and later Viṣṇu/Kṛṣṇa. | If Accuta is Viṣṇu/Kṛṣṇa, perhaps Accutagāma is a garbled form of his elder brother Balarāma’s name Acyutāgraja (“firstborn of the unfallen”). | Byāmaka means “fathom-long”. Sumaṅgala, Dabbila, Supatiṭṭhita,*Sumaṅgala (“good fortune”) is a common name. A Jain text tells of a king of that name who became an ascetic in later life (Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra 10.6.2). Ja 420 tells of how a park-keeper named Sumaṅgala accidentally killed a paccekabuddha. | Dabbila probably refers to one who uses the sacrificial “ladle” (darvi, see MN 93:18.71 and note). | Supatiṭṭhita (“well-established”) might be an attribute; commentary is silent, but Mahāvastu 21 takes it as a name. Asayha, Khemābhirata, and Sorata.*“Unbeatable”, “lover of sanctuary”, and “gentle”.
