2.57

Below, they respond to the wheel-turning king. The elephant treasure is one of the five hundred sons of the dragon king Supratiṣṭhita, mentioned earlier from the flank of the asuras. The horse treasure is also the dragon-horse of the Lord of the Gods. The woman and the two ministers are also ministers and concubines of the Lord of the Gods. When the wheel-turning king's transformation ceases, he dies and returns to heaven. Although other kings also have wheels responding to them, differing as silver, copper, and iron, they lack the remaining treasures. Regarding 'the northern continent definitely excels': that continent definitely has karma of subsequent retribution for being born in heaven, because prior to the contemplation of non-self they cultivate the ten wholesome courses of karma. 'Some texts' state that they have subsequent retribution, with karma definitely falling among ghosts.
