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. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.7.8) - [Next: 7.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.7.10) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779~en-mt.7.9) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [注維摩詰經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.223) — Classical Chinese - [維摩經略疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.5.94) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.7.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.7.9) · Pramāṇa
