[491] Again, bhikkhus, there appears to the wheel-turning monarch (cakkavatti) the elephant-treasure (hatthiratana): all white, standing firm on seven points, possessed of psychic power (iddhi), moving through the air, a king of elephants (nāgarājā) named Uposatha. On seeing it, the mind (citta) of the wheel-turning monarch is gladdened: "What an excellent elephant vehicle indeed, good sir, if only it would submit to taming!" Then, bhikkhus, that elephant-treasure submits to taming, just as would a fine thoroughbred elephant well tamed for a long time. Bhikkhus, it happened once that a wheel-turning monarch, testing that very elephant-treasure, mounted it in the morning and, having traversed the earth bounded by the ocean, returned to that same royal capital and took his morning meal. Bhikkhus, such is the elephant-treasure that appears to the wheel-turning monarch.
