sn15.20:2.1 “Mendicants, this transmigration has no known beginning.
sn15.20:2.2 No first point is found of sentient beings roaming and transmigrating, shrouded by ignorance and fettered by craving.
sn15.20:2.3 Once upon a time, mendicants, this Mount Vepulla was known as Pācīnavaṁsa.
sn15.20:2.4 And at that time people were known as Tivaras.
sn15.20:2.5 The lifespan of the Tivaras was 40,000 years.
sn15.20:2.6 It took them four days to climb Mount Vepulla, and four days to descend.
sn15.20:2.7 At that time Kakusandha, the Blessed One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha arose in the world.
sn15.20:2.8 Kakusandha had a fine pair of chief disciples named Vidhura and Sañjīva.
sn15.20:2.9 See, mendicants! This mountain’s name has vanished, those people have passed away, and that Buddha has become fully quenched.

sn15.20:2.11 so unstable are conditions,
sn15.20:2.12 so unreliable are conditions.
sn15.20:2.13 This is quite enough for you to become disillusioned, dispassionate, and freed regarding all conditions.
