於是二龍王。往舍那婆私處白言。聖人欲何所作。答言。我欲於此起寺。汝當聽我。龍答言。不可得也。長老言。世尊已說。我涅槃後於百年中。於大醍醐山最勝處當起寺。名那哆婆哆。龍王復言。世尊已說耶。長老答言。如是。龍王言。若世尊說者我當隨意(出育王經第七卷)。

Thereupon, the two dragon kings went to Śāṇakavāsin's dwelling and said, “What does the Sage wish to do?” He answered, “I wish to build a monastery here; you should grant me permission.” The dragons replied, “It cannot be done.” The Elder said, “The Bhagavat already spoke of this: ‘Within one hundred years after my nirvāṇa, at the supreme place on Mount Mahāsāra, a monastery shall be built named Naṭabhaṭa.’” The dragon kings said again, “Did the Bhagavat truly say this?” The Elder replied, “Indeed.” The dragon kings said, “If the Bhagavat spoke of it, I shall comply as you wish.” (Extracted from Fascicle Seven of the Aśokarājasūtra)
