7.9

二、辭不堪，二：初、分科。二、隨釋，四：初、正辭不堪。二、述不堪之由，二：初、敘意分科。二、隨文釋義，二：初、長者問。「作輪王」者，輪王有四：金、銀、銅、鐵輪，如次王四三二一天下。其將即位，先沐浴齋戒於高樓上，而輪寶自應，從東方來，臣、兵、象、馬、女、兒凡七寶皆爾，具如《大經．聖行品》說。肇云「佛不出家，應為金輪王，王四天下。羅睺羅不出家，應為鐵輪王，王一天下。」以其所捨不輕，所期必重，故問其利也。

Regarding "Becoming a wheel-turning king": there are four wheel-turning kings: gold, silver, copper, and iron wheels, ruling over four, three, two, and one world respectively. When about to ascend the throne, they first bathe and fast on a high tower, and the wheel treasure responds naturally, coming from the eastern direction; the seven treasures—ministers, army, elephants, horses, women, and jewels—are all like this, fully as explained in the "Chapter on Noble Conduct" of the Great Sūtra. Sengzhao says: "Had the Buddha not gone forth from home, he should have become a gold-wheel king, ruling over four worlds. Had Rāhula not gone forth from home, he should have become an iron-wheel king, ruling over one world." Because what he renounced was not light and what he anticipated was bound to be momentous, [the elder] asked about its benefit.
