Two poems dedicated to the Great Buddha of Todaiji by a monk from Gangoji Temple
The first poem is the same as number 21, and the second was also a dedication by a monk of Gangoji Temple at the Great Buddha's eye-opening ceremony in the fourth year of Tenpyo-Shoho (752) (included in the Tōdai-ji Yoroku).
Before the capital was moved to Heijo, the monks of Gangoji Temple, which was also called Hokko-ji Temple or Asuka-dera Temple, could be seen vowing to devote themselves to Buddhism even in the new capital.
