Accordingly, “The Buddha came to the kingdom of Na kie ho lo (Nagarahāra), on the mountain of the old Ṛṣi, in the flowering forest of Jambu, at the shore of a poisonous Nāga’s pool, north of the source of blue lotuses, in the cave of the Rakṣas, south of the mountain A na sseu (Anāśin). There was, at that time in the cave, five Rākṣas who had been changed into female Nāgas and were the mates of a poisonous Nāga. They caused famine and epidemics in the land.”.
