Shubin
Shubin became jealous of Kūkai's successes after returning from China in 806 CE. He magically caused the 824 drought by using tantras to capture "all the dragon-gods of the inner and outer seas". Kōbō-Daishi reported to the Emperor that the Dragon-king Zennyo of the Auavatapta pond in Northern India was not in Shubin's power.
