法苑珠林 1.39

1.39

又依順正理論云。初受段食故。身漸堅重。光明隱沒黑暗便生。日月眾星從茲出現。由漸耽味地味便隱。從茲復有地皮餅生。競耽食之地餅復隱。爾時復有林藤出現。競耽食故林藤復隱。有非種香稻自生。眾共取之以充所食。此食麁故殘穢在身。為欲蠲除便生二道。因斯遂有男女根生。由二根殊形相亦異。宿習力故便相瞻視。因此遂生非理。乃至由有劫盜過起。詮量眾內一有德人。各以所收六分之一。雇令防護封為田主。因斯故立剎帝利名。大眾欽承恩流率土。故復名大王。未有多王。自後諸王此王為首。

Further, relying on the *Nyāyānusāra-śāstra*, it says: Because they first consumed solid food, their bodies gradually became solid and heavy, their radiance faded away, and darkness then arose. The sun, moon, and host of stars appeared from this. Due to gradually indulging in flavors, the earth-flavor then vanished. From this, earth-skin cakes arose; competing to indulge in eating them, the earth-cakes vanished again. At that time, forest creepers appeared; because they competed to indulge in eating them, the forest creepers vanished again. Scented rice that did not need planting grew of itself, and the multitude took it together to fill their food needs. Because this food was coarse, residual impurities remained in their bodies; desiring to eliminate them, two passages arose. Due to this, male and female faculties came to be born. Because the two faculties differed, their bodily appearances were also different. Due to the power of past habits, they looked upon one another, and from this improper desire arose. Eventually, because the fault of robbery arose, they appraised a virtuous person among the multitude, and with each giving a one-sixth share of what was harvested, hired him to guard and protect them, enfeoffing him as the master of the fields. Because of this, the title of 'kṣatriya' was established. The great multitude revered and obeyed him, and his kindness flowed throughout the entire land; therefore, he was also named 'Great King' (Mahā-rāja). Previously there were not many kings; among all subsequent kings, this king was the first.
