1.87

"O Son of the Buddha! As for mundane retributions, they are the so-called ten abodes. [Those of the first abodes are] copper-wheel-turning kings with copper jewel necklaces, having one hundred meritorious sons as their retinue, born in one Buddha-land where they receive the Buddha's learning and practice, instructing two continents. [Those of the second abodes are] silver-wheel-turning kings with silver jewel necklaces, having five hundred meritorious sons as their retinue, born in two Buddha-lands where they receive the Buddha's teaching and practice, transforming three continents. [Those of the third abodes are] gold-wheel-turning kings with vajra jewel necklaces, having one thousand meritorious sons as their retinue, entering into the Buddha-lands of the ten directions to transform all sentient beings, dwelling over the four continents.
