In this account a large shooting star appears and is identified by a Buddhist priest as a "heavenly dog", and much like the <i>tiāngǒu</i> of China, the star precedes a military uprising. "9th year, Spring, and month, 23rd day. A great star floated from East to West, and there was a noise like that of thunder. The people of that day said that it was the sound of the falling star.

Like the <i>tengu</i>, the <i>garuda</i> are often portrayed in a human-like form with wings and a bird's beak. The name <i>tengu</i> seems to be written in place of that of the <i>garuda</i> in a Japanese <a href="/wiki/Sutra" title="Sutra">sutra</a> called the <i>Emmyō Jizō-kyō</i> (<span title="Japanese-language text"><span lang="ja">延命地蔵経</span></span>), but this was likely written in the <a href="/wiki/Edo_period" title="Edo period">Edo period</a>, long after the <i>tengu's</i> image was established. At least one early story in the <i><a href="/wiki/Konjaku_Monogatari" class="mw-redirect" title="Konjaku Monogatari">Konjaku Monogatari</a></i> describes a <i>tengu</i> carrying off a dragon, which is reminiscent of the <i>garuda's</i> feud with the <i><a href="/wiki/N%C4%81ga" title="Nāga">nāga</a></i> serpents. In other respects, however, the <i>tengu's</i> original behavior differs markedly from that of the <i>garuda</i>, which is generally friendly towards Buddhism.
