9.1
Atha kho, bhikkhave, aññataro puriso yena rājā khattiyo muddhābhisitto tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā rājānaṃ khattiyaṃ muddhābhisittaṃ etadavoca:
Then a certain man approached the newly anointed aristocrat king and said,
9.2
‘yagghe, deva, jāneyyāsi, dibbaṃ cakkaratanaṃ antarahitan’ti?
‘Please Your Majesty, you should know that the heavenly wheel-treasure has vanished.’
9.3
Atha kho, bhikkhave, rājā khattiyo muddhābhisitto dibbe cakkaratane antarahite anattamano ahosi. Anattamanatañca paṭisaṃvedesi;
At that the king was unhappy and experienced unhappiness.
9.4
no ca kho rājisiṃ upasaṅkamitvā ariyaṃ cakkavattivattaṃ pucchi.
But he didn’t go to the royal seer and ask about the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch.
9.5
So samateneva sudaṃ janapadaṃ pasāsati.
He just governed the country according to his own ideas.
9.6
Tassa samatena janapadaṃ pasāsato pubbenāparaṃ janapadā na pabbanti, yathā taṃ pubbakānaṃ rājūnaṃ ariye cakkavattivatte vattamānānaṃ.
So governed, the country’s people did not prosper like before, as they had when former kings proceeded in the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch.

Then the ministers and councillors, the treasurers and chief ministers, military officers, guardsmen, and professional advisers gathered and said to the king,
9.8
‘na kho te, deva, samatena sudaṃ janapadaṃ pasāsato pubbenāparaṃ janapadā pabbanti, yathā taṃ pubbakānaṃ rājūnaṃ ariye cakkavattivatte vattamānānaṃ.
‘Your Majesty, when governed according to your own ideas, the country’s people do not prosper like before, as they did when former kings proceeded in the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch.
9.9
Saṃvijjanti kho te, deva, vijite amaccā pārisajjā gaṇakamahāmattā anīkaṭṭhā dovārikā mantassājīvino mayañceva aññe ca ye mayaṃ ariyaṃ cakkavattivattaṃ dhārema.
In your realm are found ministers and councillors, treasurers and chief ministers, military officers, guardsmen, and professional advisers—both ourselves and others—who remember the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch.

Iṅgha tvaṃ, deva, amhe ariyaṃ cakkavattivattaṃ puccha.
Please, Your Majesty, ask us about the noble duty of a wheel-turning monarch.

Tassa te mayaṃ ariyaṃ cakkavattivattaṃ puṭṭhā byākarissāmā’ti.
We will answer you.’
