This chapter begins with an introduction that is missing from Toh 557. Dṛḍhā, the goddess of the earth, requests the Buddha to teach a treatise on kingship. The Buddha tells her that in the past there was a king named Balendraketu who told his son Ruciraketu that he had received a treatise on kingship called The Commitment of the Lord of Devas from his own father, King Pinnacle of Lords. For twenty thousand years he had ruled following this treatise.
