[208] King Mahāvijita possessed eight factors: he was well born on both sides, both on his mother's side and on his father's side, of pure descent (saṃsuddhagahaṇika) as far back as the seventh generation of forefathers, unassailable and irreproachable with respect to any assertion concerning birth; he was handsome, pleasing to behold … affording no mean sight to those who looked upon him; he was rich, of great wealth, of great possessions, with abundant gold and silver, abundant valuable requisites, abundant money and grain, his treasury and granary full to overflowing; he was powerful, endowed with a fourfold army that was obedient and responsive to his command—by his very fame, one would think, he scorched his adversaries; he was faithful, a giver, a master of giving, his door never closed, a well-spring for ascetics and brahmins, the destitute, wayfarers, wanderers, and beggars, a maker of merit; he was greatly learned in this and that field of learning, and he knew the meaning of each and every statement thus: "This is the meaning of this statement; this is the meaning of that statement"; he was wise, competent, intelligent, able to think upon matters past, future, and present. King Mahāvijita possessed these eight factors. Thus these eight factors too became accessories to that very sacrifice.
