Wielding Power (1st)
“पञ्चहि, भिक्खवे, अङ्गेहि समन्नागतो राजा चक्कवत्ती धम्मेनेव चक्कं वत्तेति; तं होति चक्कं अप्पटिवत्तियं केनचि मनुस्सभूतेन पच्चत्थिकेन पाणिना।
“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, aṅgehi samannāgato rājā cakkavattī dhammeneva cakkaṁ vatteti; taṁ hoti cakkaṁ appaṭivattiyaṁ1 kenaci manussabhūtena paccatthikena pāṇinā.
“Bhikkhus, possessing five factors a wheel-turning monarch wields power only in a principled manner. And this power cannot be undermined by any human enemy.
कतमेहि पञ्चहि? इध, भिक्खवे, राजा चक्कवत्ती अत्थञ्ञू च होति, धम्मञ्ञू च, मत्तञ्ञू च, कालञ्ञू च, परिसञ्ञू च। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चहि अङ्गेहि समन्नागतो राजा चक्कवत्ती धम्मेनेव चक्कं पवत्तेति; तं होति चक्कं अप्पटिवत्तियं केनचि मनुस्सभूतेन पच्चत्थिकेन पाणिना।
Katamehi pañcahi? Idha, bhikkhave, rājā cakkavattī atthaññū ca hoti, dhammaññū ca, mattaññū ca, kālaññū ca, parisaññū ca. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi aṅgehi samannāgato rājā cakkavattī dhammeneva cakkaṁ pavatteti; taṁ hoti cakkaṁ appaṭivattiyaṁ kenaci manussabhūtena paccatthikena pāṇinā.
What five? A wheel-turning monarch knows what is right, knows principle, knows moderation, knows the right time, and knows the assembly. A wheel-turning monarch who possesses these five factors wields power only in a principled manner. And this power cannot be undermined by any human enemy.
एवमेवं खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो तथागतो अरहं सम्मासम्बुद्धो धम्मेनेव अनुत्तरं धम्मचक्कं पवत्तेति; तं होति चक्कं अप्पटिवत्तियं समणेन वा ब्राह्मणेन वा देवेन वा मारेन वा ब्रह्मुना वा केनचि वा लोकस्मिं।
Evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato tathāgato arahaṁ sammāsambuddho dhammeneva anuttaraṁ dhammacakkaṁ pavatteti; taṁ hoti cakkaṁ appaṭivattiyaṁ samaṇena vā brāhmaṇena vā devena vā mārena vā brahmunā vā kenaci vā lokasmiṁ.
In the same way, possessing five qualities a Realized One, a perfected one, a fully awakened Buddha rolls forth the supreme Wheel of Dhamma only in a principled manner. And that wheel cannot be rolled back by any ascetic or brahmin or god or Māra or Brahmā or by anyone in the world.
