"When among kṣatriyas, he was the most honored among kṣatriyas, teaching them forbearance." Sengzhao says: "Kṣatriyas are the royal caste; in the language of Qin, 'field-owners.' At the beginning of the kalpa, humans ate the flavor of the earth, and gradually ate self-grown non-glutinous rice. Later, human dispositions became deceitful, and each hoarded property; they then established one of virtue to equitably divide the fields. This was the origin of kings. High, noble, and self-willed, they are mostly violent, prone to anger, and recklessly inflict harm, bringing about their own saṃsāric wandering; hence he taught them harmony and forbearance."
