On one occasion, while staying at the Jetavanna monastery, the Buddhist delivered a sermon on the story of Maha Vong Taeng On to monks at the Dhamma Sala, who were talking about Devadatta and the Buddha. One day Prince Maha Vong, the son of the king and queen of Kosi city accompanied with four followers entered the forest for catching cocks. They lost their way back. Later, they discovered a sea and a crystal castle in the sea. They stayed overnight on the bank of the sea. At night, the prince dreamed and saw a beautiful girl living in the palace.
