[38] Then, bhikkhus, a certain man … "has vanished." Then, bhikkhus, when the divine wheel-treasure (cakkaratana) had vanished, the anointed khattiya king was displeased and experienced displeasure; but he did not approach the royal seer and ask about the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch (cakkavattivatta). He governed the country simply according to his own ideas; and while he governed the country according to his own ideas, the country's people did not prosper afterwards as before, as they had when former kings were proceeding in the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch.
Then, bhikkhus, the ministers, members of the council, accountant-officials and chief ministers, officers of the troops, gate-keepers, and those who live by counsel assembled and said this to the anointed khattiya king: "Sire, while you govern the country according to your own ideas, the country's people do not prosper afterwards as before, as they did when former kings were proceeding in the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch. There exist in your realm, sire, ministers, members of the council, accountant-officials and chief ministers, officers of the troops, gate-keepers, and those who live by counsel—both we ourselves and others—who remember the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch. Come, sire, ask us about the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch. Being asked by you about the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch, we shall answer."
