Below him, twenty-five kings had lifespans of two to three million years. King Māndhātṛ had a lifespan of one million years. Māndhātṛ Cakravartin, along with the Left Thigh King and the Right Thigh King, all had lifespans of one hundred thousand years. From King Nanda onward, all had lifespans of eighty-four thousand years. From Evil-Minded Cakravartin, who killed an ox in sacrifice, harming life, he lost the gold wheel and obtained a silver wheel, ruling over three continents, with a lifespan of ten thousand years. King Firm-Minded made armor, had a lifespan of five thousand years, obtained a copper wheel, and ruled over two continents, governing the southwest. King Fond-of-Killing had a lifespan of two thousand five hundred years, obtained an iron wheel, and ruled over the southern continent. That king had a crown prince; when he practiced evil killing for five hundred years, his lifespan was reduced by one thousand years. Ancient people had nine ailments: cold, heat, hunger, thirst, birth, old age, sickness, and death. Because brāhmaṇas killed living beings in sacrifice, four hundred and four ailments arose from this. From King Lion-Mind onward, human lifespan progressively decreased to one hundred and twenty years. After King Lion-Mind, King Lion-Will had eighty-four kings, with human lifespan progressively decreasing, some living eighty, seventy, fifty, thirty, twenty, or ten years. Later there was King Siṃhahanu (King Siṃhahanu is indeed King Siṃhahanu), whose son was named Śuddhodana, the father of the Bodhisattva. Counting the Bodhisattva’s bodily existence from beginning to end, including those before and after, there were eighty-four thousand cakravartin kings.
