Pali Chanting

Evam me sutam
Thus have I heard:
ekam samayam Bhagavâ
On one occasion the Blessed One
Râjagahe viharati Isigilismin pabbate
was living on Isigili mountain near Rajagaha.
Tatra kho Bhavagâ, bhikkhû âmantesi Bhikkhavo ti
There He addressed the monks, saying "O, Monks."
Bhadante ti te bhikkhû Bhagavato paccassosum
"Venerable Sir," replied the monks in assent to the Blessed One. 
Bhavagâ etadavoca
Thereupon he said:

Passatha no, tumhe bhikkhave, etam Vebhâram pabbatam ti
"Monks, do you or not see that mountain Vebhâra?"
Evam Bhante
"Yes, Venerable Sir."
Etassa'pi kho bhikkhave, Vebhârassa pabbatassa
"That Vebhâra mountain, monks,
âññâ'va samaññâ ahosi, âññâ paññatti
used to be another name, another designation."

Passatha no tumhe bhikkhave, etam Pandavam pabbatam ti
"Monks, do you or not see that mountain Pandava?"
Evam Bhante
"Yes, Venerable Sir."
Etassa'pi kho bhikkhave, Pandavassa pabbatassa
"That Pandavassa mountain, monks,
âññâ'va samaññâ ahosi, âññâ paññatti
used to be another name, another designation."

Passatha no tumhe bhikkhave etam Vepullam pabbatam ti
"Monks, do you or not see that mountain Vepulla?"
Evam bhante
"Yes, Venerable Sir."
Etassa'pi kho bhikkhave, Vepullassa pabbatassa
"That Vepullassa mountain, monks,
âññâ'va samaññâ ahosi, âññâ paññatti
used to be another name, another designation."

Passatha no tumhe bhikkhave, etam Gijjhakûtam pabbatam ti
"Monks, do you or not see that mountain Gijjhakûta - the Vulture Peak?"
Evam bhante
"Yes, Venerable Sir."
Etassa'pi kho bhikkave Gijjhakûtassa pabbatassa
"That Gijjhakûtassa mountain - the Vulture Peak, monks,
âññâ'va samaññâ ahosi âññâ paññatti
used to be another name, another designation."

Passatha no tumhe bhikkhave, imam Isigilim pabbatam ti
"Monks, do you or not see that mountain Isigili - the Gullet of the Seers?"
Evam bhante
"Yes, Venerable Sir."
Imassapi kho bhikkhave Isigilissa pabbatassa
"This Isigili mountain - the Gullet of the Seers, monks
esâ'va samaññâ ahosi esa paññatti
used to be this name, this very designation."

Bhûtapubbam bhikkhave pañca Pacceka-buddha-satâni
In former times, monks, five hundred Paccekabuddhas
imasmim Isigilismim pabbate ciranivâsino ahesum
lived for a long time on this Isigili mountain.
Te imam pabbatam pavisantâ dissanti 
As they were entering the mountain, they were visible,
pavitthâ na dissanti 
but once they had entered, they were not visible.

Tamanam manussâ disvâ evamâhamsu
People who saw this, remarked:
Ayam pabbato, ime isîgilatî ti
"This mountain swallows up these seers."
'Isigili' 'Isigili'tveva samaññâ udapâdi
Hence the name 'Isigili" came into being."

Àcikkhissâmi bhikkhave, Pacceka-buddhânam nâmâni
"I shall tell, the names of the Paccekabuddhas.
kittayassâmi bhikkhave, Pacceka-buddhânam nâmâni
I shall relate to you, monks, the names of the Paccekabuddhas.
desissâmi bhikkhave, Pacceka-buddhânam nâmâni
I shall expound, monks, the names of the Paccekabuddhas.
Tam sunâtha, sâdhukam mana-sikarotha bhâsissâmî ti 
Listen, and bear it well in mind, I shall speak."
