“The fortune tellers accepted his command and examined the prince. 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.’
