秦時中宿縣有觀亭水神
秦時丹陽縣湖側有梅姑神
漢時夜郎𦟥水竺王祠有竹節神
漢中平年江水內有蛾含沙射人
漢永昌不韋縣有禁水毒氣
太山之東有澧泉飲用神靈
二華之山當黃河有神簰分流
黃帝時有赤將子輿能隨風雨上下
神農時有赤松子是雨師能服水入火
漢沙門千吉能祈雨將孫策忌害見怪
漢沙門竺曇蓋祈雨有徵
晉沙門僧群隱山感神水飲而不飢
晉廬山釋慧遠以杖掘地感泉涌出
晉沙門于法蘭感涸㵎涌水清流
晉沙門涉公能呪龍下鉢中
晉沙門佛圖澄能祈雨白龍二頭見
晉沙門竺曇摩羅剎能呪水枯而更流
宋沙門求那跋陀羅能祈雨應時而降
齊沙門曇超有神請超祈雨有徵
梁安國寺有瑞像放光處有泉涌
唐沙門空藏能祈雨甚有徵應
唐沙門慧璿山隱無水感神請居得水
