In the year 786, when 진표 (a buddhist monk in Shilla
dynasty) arrived to 속리산 all the cows that were plowing
stopped and bowed to him. When farmers saw this, they were
ashamed that even the animals recognized the greatness of
진표. So they renounced the egoistic minds and followed after
진표 in the mountains to get trained. This is where the name
"속리" came from. It means "to leave the world behind."
