In "Nihonshoki" also, a similar story appears and the paragraph titled September, 274 says that 'he sent an order to all countries and determined diver groups and mountain guardian groups' and the paragraph titled November, 280 says that 'he had Tsurugi no ike-Pond, Karu no ike-Pond, Shishikaki no ike-Pond, and Umaya no saka no ike-Pond built.'
『日本書紀』にも同様の記事が見え、応神五年八月条に「諸国に令して、海人及び山守を定む」、応神十一年十月条に「剣池・軽池（かるのいけ）・鹿垣池（ししかきのいけ）・厩坂池（うまやさかのいけ）を作る」とある。
