Mayura Sandesa, the messenger poem written in the 14th Century describes this enchanting rock and the surroundings as ,

” When the planets and stars disappear trom the sky and when the nectar appears in or drops from flowers on tree tops and when the sun spreads its rays as it rises over the mountain of the east, you may set off trom Ambuluwakada happily.”
