"One day when not a cloud was in the sky and not a breeze was stirring, peals of thunder suddenly rumbled overhead. Kukai hurried to the Palace and chanted spells in a loud voice, while fingering his rosary. Something plummeted to earth: incredibly, it was some kind of strange, giant barbarian, riding in a chariot! The man was seized, locked in a large coffer, and thrown into the Naniwa Canal. Imbe no Hamanari dug up the ground to a depth of three feet at the spot where the mysterious rider had landed, and loudly recited exorcisms and prayers of purification."
