c8.s3.109

“While Buddha yet lived, driven by the misfortunes produced by the war of (prince) Vidhudhabo, certain members of the Sâkya line retreating to Himavanto, discovered a delightful and beautiful location, well watered, and situated in the midst of a forest of lofty bo and other trees. Influenced by the desire of settling there, they founded a town at a place where several great roads met, surrounded by durable ramparts, having gates of defence therein, and embellished with delightful edifices and pleasure gardens. Moreover that (city), having a row of buildings covered with tiles, which were arranged in the pattern of the plumage of a peacock’s neck, and as it resounded with the notes of flocks of ‘konchos’ and ‘mayuros’ (pea-fowls), was so called. From this circumstance these Sâkya lords of this town, and their children and descendants, were renowned throughout Jambudîpo by the title of ‘Moriya.’ From this time that dynasty has been called the Moriyan dynasty.”
