Mahāsudassana possessed the seven treasures of a Cakkavatti (q.v.): the cakka-ratana, the hatthi-ratana (named Uposatha), the assa-ratana (named Valāhaka), the maṇi-ratana, the itthi-ratana (pearl among women), the gahapati-ratana, and the parināyaka-ratana. He also possessed four iddhi-powers: he was handsome, long-lived, free from disease, and beloved by all classes of people. He had lotus ponds made all over his kingdom, food and clothing being placed on their banks for any who might require them. With the money brought to the king by the people, Vissakamma, under Sakka's orders, built the Dhammapāsāda Palace, filled with all splendour and luxury. The king possessed a gabled hall called Mahāvyūha, where he spent the hot part of the day. In front of the Dhammapāsāda was the Dhammapokkharaṇī.
