又依樓炭經云。後有他王治化不如先王。其壽遂減。生至八萬歲。展轉稍減至一萬歲乃至百歲。從劫初有王名大人相已來。依四分律總算合有八萬四千二百五十三王出世。其中別有十大轉輪聖王。王四天下。自外諸王不可備列。且列如來七世祖族名諱。具錄如下。故五分律云。過去有王名欝摩王(四分名懿師摩)此王庶子有四。名一名照目(長阿含經名曰面光)二名聰目(經名食眾)三名調象(經名路指)四名尼樓(經名莊嚴)尼樓王有子名烏頭羅。烏頭羅王有子名瞿頭羅。瞿頭羅王有子名尸休羅。尸休羅王有四子。一名淨飯。二名白飯。三名斛飯。四名甘露飯。若依長阿含經四分律等。皆云。師子頰王有四子。一名淨飯王。有二子(一是菩薩二是難陀)第二白飯王有二子(一是調達二是阿難)第三斛飯王有二子(一是摩訶男二是阿那律)第四甘露飯王有二子(一是娑婆二是跋提)依智度論云。師子頰王有一女名甘露味。甘露味有子名施婆羅。依雜阿含經云。世尊姑子名低沙比丘是也。依分別功德論云。阿難有妹。出家作比丘尼(不出名字)嫌迦葉訶阿難。作小兒者是。又大方便經云。白淨王劫初已來嫡嫡相承作轉輪王。近來二世不作輪王。而作閻浮提王。又優婆塞戒經云。我於初釋迦佛所發心。於寶頂佛所滿初僧祇。於然燈佛所滿第二僧祇。於迦葉佛所滿第三僧祇(俱舍論云。逆次逢勝觀然燈寶髻佛。則毘婆尸所滿三僧祇。若正滿為言在於勝觀。已滿為語在於飲光。經論不同理各據矣。良由釋迦高貴古今無比。宿殖福因今受勝報)。

Furthermore, according to the Loutan jing: Later, there were other kings whose governance and transformation were inferior to the former kings, and their lifespans consequently decreased. Life began at eighty thousand years, and gradually decreased from generation to generation down to ten thousand years, and even to one hundred years. From the beginning of the kalpa, when there was a king named Great Person Marks, according to the Four-Part Vinaya, a total of 84,253 kings appeared in the world. Among them, there were specifically ten great wheel-turning holy kings who ruled over the four continents. The other kings beyond these cannot be listed exhaustively. For now, the names and surnames of the Tathāgata's seven generations of ancestors will be recorded in full below.

Thus the Five-Part Vinaya says: In the past there was a king named King Utkā (the Four-Part Vinaya calls him Ikṣvāku). This king had four concubine-born sons: the first was named Illuminating Eyes (the Dīrgha Āgama calls him Shining Face); the second was named Clever Eyes (the Sūtra calls him Consumer of the Multitude); the third was named Elephant Tamer (the Sūtra calls him Road Pointer); the fourth was named Nīla (the Sūtra calls him Adornment). King Nīla had a son named Udara. King Udara had a son named Godara. King Godara had a son named Śikhura. King Śikhura had four sons: the first was named Śuddhodana; the second was named Śuklodana; the third was named Droṇodana; the fourth was named Amṛtodana.

If one follows the Dīrgha Āgama and the Four-Part Vinaya, they all say: King Siṃhahanu had four sons: the first was King Śuddhodana, who had two sons (the first was the Bodhisattva, the second was Nanda); the second was King Śuklodana, who had two sons (the first was Devadatta, the second was Ānanda); the third was King Droṇodana, who had two sons (the first was Mahānāman, the second was Aniruddha); the fourth was King Amṛtodana, who had two sons (the first was Śākya, the second was Bhaddiya).

According to the Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra, King Siṃhahanu had a daughter named Amṛtā. Amṛtā had a son named Śīvala. According to the Saṃyukta Āgama, the World-Honoured One's maternal aunt's son was the bhikṣu Tiṣya. According to the Fenbie gongde lun, Ānanda had a younger sister who left home to become a nun (her name is not given), who resented Kāśyapa for rebuking Ānanda as a child.

Furthermore, the Da fangbian jing says: Since the beginning of the kalpa, King Śuddhodana's lineage succeeded one another directly as cakravartins; in the recent two generations, they did not become cakravartins, but became kings of Jambudvīpa.

Furthermore, the Upāsakaśīla-sūtra says: 'I generated the resolve in the presence of the first Śākyamuni Buddha; fulfilled the first asaṃkhyeya [kalpa] in the presence of Ratnacūḍa Buddha; fulfilled the second asaṃkhyeya in the presence of Dīpaṃkara Buddha; and fulfilled the third asaṃkhyeya in the presence of Kāśyapa Buddha.' (The Abhidharmakośa-śāstra states: 'Meeting in reverse order Vipaśyin, Dīpaṃkara, and Ratnaśikhin Buddhas,' which means the three asaṃkhyeyas were fulfilled at the time of Vipaśyin. If spoken of in terms of being exactly fulfilled, it lies with Vipaśyin; if spoken of in terms of already fulfilled, it lies with Kāśyapa. The sūtras and treatises differ, but each is grounded in principle. Truly, it is because Śākyamuni's nobility is peerless throughout ancient and modern times that, having planted fortunate causes in past lives, he now receives this supreme retribution.)
