In the time of King Mu, Mañjuśrī and Maudgalyāyana (the Bodhisattva Mañjuśrī is translated here as 'Wonderful Virtue'; the Venerable Maudgalyāyana is translated here as 'Gatherer of Beans') came from the west to convert the King. They revealed that the Gaosi Terrace was the place where Kāśyapa Buddha had preached the Dharma (built by four brothers surnamed Gao). Thereupon, a Bodhimaṇḍa of Three Assemblies was constructed, and the Terrace of the Middle Heaven was built on Mount Zhongnan, a thousand feet high (the wizard in the Liezi refers to Mañjuśrī and the others). The King's second son created a statue of Kāśyapa Buddha in the stone caves of the North Mountain by the Qin River (Qin: pronounced with initial qi and rhyme zhen; the river issues from Shangdang). The King also rebuilt the Bamboo Grove Monastery at the old monastery of Kāśyapa Buddha on Mount Gu. Following the Buddha, the mountain deity requested five hundred arhats to reside there (Account of the Sensibility and Communication of Gods and Men).
