釋迦譜 1.62

1.62

遮迦越齊言飛行皇帝。即轉輪王也長阿含及曇無德律。序轉輪世數甚明。已顯於前。此記抄撮難尋。若依全經。宜以阿含為正。大瞿曇氏純淑之姓。大方便經云。白淨劫初以來。嫡嫡相承作轉輪王。近來三世不作轉輪。而作閻浮提王。

Cakravartin in the language of Qi means "Flying Emperor," which is a wheel-turning king. The Dīrghāgama and the Dharmaguptaka Vinaya narrate the number of generations of wheel-turners very clearly, as has already been shown above. This record has compiled excerpts that are hard to trace. If relying on complete scriptures, one should take the Āgama as the standard. The Great Gautama clan is a lineage of pure excellence. The Great Skillful Means Sūtra says: "From the beginning of the kalpa onward, the ancestors of Śuddhodana succeeded one another in the main line as wheel-turning kings. In the recent three generations, they did not become wheel-turning kings, but became kings of Jambudvīpa."
