About this episode

5.131 Five qualities by which a wheel-turning monarch rules justly, and five corresponding qualities by which the Buddha rolls the Wheel of Dhamma.
5.132 Five qualities by which a wheel-turning monarch’s son rules justly, and five corresponding qualities by which Sāriputta keeps rolling the Wheel of Dhamma.
5.133 Even a wheel-turning monarch has a king, as does the Buddha.
5.134 A wheel-turning monarch always lives in his own realm, and so does a mendicant whose mind is freed.
5.135 A wheel-turning monarch’s son aspires to kingship, as a mendicant aspires to awakening.
5.136 A wheel-turning monarch’s son aspires to be a viceroy, as a mendicant aspires to awakening.
5.137 Five people who sleep little.
5.138 Even a clumsy royal elephant is considered to be a royal elephant, and so too even a clumsy mendicant is still a mendicant.
5.139 A royal elephant who can’t endure sense impacts is unfit, and so too a mendicant.
5.140 A royal elephant with five factors is fit, and so too a mendicant.
