King Munmu willed that his body be cremated
in a simple funeral ceremony and that his remains be buried
under the large rock off the east shore at Gampo.
The rock is now called Daewangam Rock. The surrounding
pillars of rocks form a placid pond.

This pavilion, looking out on Daewangam, is where King Sinmun
was said to have seen the dragon, King Munmu's incarnation.
It is also said that he was given 'manpasikjeok,' a legendary
flute, which has power to ease disturbances in the world.
