太子瑞應本起經 1.11

1.11

「菩薩承事定光，至于泥曰。奉戒護法，壽終即生第一天上，為四天王。畢天之壽，下生人間，作轉輪聖王飛行皇帝——七寶自至，一、金輪寶，二、神珠寶，三、紺馬寶朱髦𮤅，四、白象寶朱髦尾，五、玉女寶，六、賢鑒寶，七、聖導寶——八萬四千歲，壽終即上生第二忉利天上，為天帝釋。壽盡又昇第七梵天，為梵天王。如是上作天帝，下為聖主，各三十六反，周而復始。及其變化，隨時而現，或為聖帝，或作儒林之宗，國師道士，在所現化，不可稱記。

"The bodhisattva served Dīpaṃkara until his Nirvāṇa. Upholding the precepts and protecting the Dharma, when his lifespan ended he was born in the first heaven as a Cāturmahārājika king. Having exhausted his heavenly lifespan, he descended to be born among humans as a flying wheel-turning holy king, an emperor—the seven treasures arrived of themselves: first, the wheel-treasure; second, the jewel-treasure; third, the dark blue horse-treasure with red mane and tail; fourth, the white elephant-treasure with red mane and tail; fifth, the woman-treasure; sixth, the wise-minister treasure; seventh, the holy-leader treasure—ruling for eighty-four thousand years. When his lifespan ended, he ascended to be born in the second heaven, Trāyastriṃśa, as Śakra, Lord of the Devas. When that lifespan was exhausted, he ascended again to the seventh heaven, Brahmaloka, as Brahmā King. In this way, ascending as lord of devas and descending as holy sovereign, thirty-six times each, round and round he cycled. As for his transformations, he manifested according to the times: sometimes as a sage emperor, sometimes as the foremost scholar, a state preceptor, or a practitioner of the Way; the places where he manifested and transformed cannot be fully recorded.
