Lifting his robe, they saw he had the full set of signs. They predicted, ‘Someone possessing these signs will have \[one of\] two destinies, without a doubt. If he remains at home, he’ll become a noble wheel-turning king. He’ll be the king of the four continents, and his four armies will be complete. He’ll rule with the correct Dharma without any tyranny, and he’ll be a blessing to the world. The seven treasures will come naturally to him, and he’ll have a thousand courageous sons. He’ll defeat foreign adversaries without using weapons, and there’ll be a great peace in the world. If he leaves home to train on the path, then he’ll achieve complete awakening and be given the ten epithets.’ > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “The fortune tellers then said to the king, ‘This son born to the King has the thirty-two signs. He’ll arrive at \[one of\] two places, without a doubt. If he stays at home, he’ll become a noble wheel-turning king. If he leaves home, he’ll achieve complete awakening and be given the ten epithets.’” > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > The Buddha then spoke in verse: > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 1.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.1.66) - [Next: 1.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.1.68) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.1) ## Translations (2) - [The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.1.p136) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-mt.1.67) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [大智度論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.prajnaparamita.pancavimsatisahasrika!mahaprajnaparamitopadesa*zh-kumarajiva.4.258) — Classical Chinese - [Mahāpadānasutta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.14.1.31.1-13) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.1.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.1.67) · Pramāṇa
