[164] "Ānanda, King Mahāsudassana was endowed with seven treasures (ratana) and with four glories (iddhi). What are the seven?
"Here, Ānanda, when King Mahāsudassana had bathed his head on the fifteenth day, the Uposatha day, and, keeping the Uposatha, had gone up to the upper storey of the excellent palace, the divine wheel-treasure (cakkaratana) appeared to him — with a thousand spokes, with rim and with hub, complete in every aspect. Seeing it, King Mahāsudassana thought: 'This has been heard by me: to whatever head-anointed khattiya king, who has bathed his head on the fifteenth day, the Uposatha day, and, keeping the Uposatha, has gone up to the upper storey of the excellent palace, there appears the divine wheel-treasure — with a thousand spokes, with rim and with hub, complete in every aspect — that king is a wheel-turning monarch (rājā cakkavattī). Could I, then, be a wheel-turning monarch?'
"Then, Ānanda, King Mahāsudassana rose from his seat, arranged his upper robe over one shoulder, took the golden ceremonial vase in his left hand, and sprinkled the wheel-treasure with his right hand, saying: 'Roll forth, honored wheel-treasure! Conquer, honored wheel-treasure!' Then, Ānanda, the wheel-treasure rolled toward the eastern direction, and King Mahāsudassana followed after it together with his fourfold army. And in whatever region, Ānanda, the wheel-treasure came to rest, there King Mahāsudassana took up residence together with his fourfold army. And, Ānanda, whatever opposing kings there were in the eastern direction, they approached King Mahāsudassana and spoke thus: 'Come, great king! Welcome, great king! What is ours is yours, great king. Instruct us, great king.' King Mahāsudassana spoke thus: 'Living beings should not be killed. What is not given should not be taken. Sexual misconduct should not be committed. Falsehood should not be spoken. Intoxicants should not be drunk. And enjoy as you have enjoyed before.' And, Ānanda, whatever opposing kings there were in the eastern direction, they became vassals of King Mahāsudassana.
"Then, Ānanda, the wheel-treasure, having plunged into the eastern ocean and re-emerged, rolled toward the southern direction; having plunged into the southern ocean and re-emerged, it rolled toward the western direction; having plunged into the western ocean and re-emerged, it rolled toward the northern direction, and King Mahāsudassana followed after it together with his fourfold army. And in whatever region, Ānanda, the wheel-treasure came to rest, there King Mahāsudassana took up residence together with his fourfold army. And, Ānanda, whatever opposing kings there were in the northern direction, they approached King Mahāsudassana and spoke thus: 'Come, great king! Welcome, great king! What is ours is yours, great king. Instruct us, great king.' King Mahāsudassana spoke thus: 'Living beings should not be killed. What is not given should not be taken. Sexual misconduct should not be committed. Falsehood should not be spoken. Intoxicants should not be drunk. And enjoy as you have enjoyed before.' And, Ānanda, whatever opposing kings there were in the northern direction, they became vassals of King Mahāsudassana.
"Then, Ānanda, the wheel-treasure, having conquered the earth bounded by the ocean, returned to the royal capital Kusāvatī and stood — as if fixed upon an axle — at the gate of King Mahāsudassana's inner palace, before the hall of justice, adorning with radiance the inner palace of King Mahāsudassana. Such, Ānanda, was the wheel-treasure that appeared to King Mahāsudassana."
