### 佛說長阿含第四分世記經轉輪聖王品第三

> Chapter 3: The Wheel-Turning Sacred King

佛告比丘：「世間有轉輪聖王，成就七寶，有四神德。云何轉輪聖王成就七寶？一金輪寶，二白象寶，三紺馬寶，四神珠寶，五玉女寶，六居士寶，七主兵寶。云何轉輪聖王金輪寶成就？若轉輪聖王出閻浮提地，剎利水澆頭種，以十五日月滿時，沐浴香湯，上高殿上，與婇女眾共相娛樂，天金輪寶忽現在前，輪有千輻，其光色具足，天金所成，天匠所造，非世所有，輪徑丈四。轉輪聖王見已，默自念言：『我曾從先宿諸舊聞如是語：「若剎利王水澆頭種，以十五日月滿時，沐浴香湯，昇法殿上，婇女圍遶，自然金輪忽現在前，輪有千輻，光色具足，天匠所造，非世所有，輪徑丈四，是則名為轉輪聖王。」今此輪現，將無是耶？今我寧可試此輪寶。』

> The Buddha told the monks: "In this world, there is a Wheel-Turning Sage King who possesses seven treasures and four divine virtues. What are the seven treasures of the Wheel-Turning Sage King? First, the Golden Wheel Treasure; second, the White Elephant Treasure; third, the Dark Blue Horse Treasure; fourth, the Divine Jewel Treasure; fifth, the Jade Maiden Treasure; sixth, the Householder Treasure; seventh, the Military Commander Treasure. What is the Golden Wheel Treasure of the Wheel-Turning Sage King like? When the Wheel-Turning Sage King emerges in the land of Jambudvipa, as a warrior-noble anointed by water, on the fifteenth day when the moon is full, after bathing in fragrant water, he ascends the high hall and delights in the company of his court ladies. Suddenly, a heavenly golden wheel appears before him. The wheel has a thousand spokes, radiating full light and color, made of celestial gold, crafted by heavenly artisans—not of this world—measuring fourteen feet in diameter. Upon seeing it, the Wheel-Turning Sage King thinks to himself: 'I have heard from the wise elders of old: "If a warrior-noble king anointed by water, on the fifteenth day when the moon is full, after bathing in fragrant water, ascends the hall of Dharma, surrounded by court ladies, and a natural golden wheel suddenly appears before him—with a thousand spokes, full of light and color, crafted by heavenly artisans, not of this world, and fourteen feet in diameter—then that king is called a Wheel-Turning Sage King." Now that this wheel has appeared, could it be just so? Let me put this wheel treasure to the test.'"

「時，轉輪王即召四兵，向金輪寶，偏露右臂，右膝著地，以右手摩捫金輪語言：『汝向東方，如法而轉，勿違常則。』輪即東轉。時，轉輪王即將四兵隨其後行，金輪寶前有四神導，輪所住處，王即止駕。爾時，東方諸小國王見大王至，以金鉢盛銀粟，銀鉢盛金粟，來詣王所，拜首白言：『善哉！大王！今此東方土地豐樂，多諸珍寶，人民熾盛，志性仁和，慈孝忠順，唯願聖王於此治政，我等當給使左右承受所當。』時，轉輪王語小王言：『止！止！諸賢！汝等則為供養我已，但當以正法治化，勿使偏枉，無令國內有非法行，身不殺生，教人不殺生、偷盜、邪婬、兩舌、惡口、妄言、綺語、貪取、嫉妬、邪見之人，此即名為我之所治。』

> At that time, the Wheel-Turning King summoned his fourfold army and, facing the golden wheel, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, and touched the golden wheel with his right hand, saying: "Turn toward the east, and revolve according to the Dharma, without violating the established order." The wheel then turned eastward. The Wheel-Turning King, leading his fourfold army, followed behind it, with four deities guiding the golden wheel ahead. Wherever the wheel came to rest, the king halted his carriage. At that moment, the lesser kings of the eastern regions, seeing the great king arrive, came bearing gold bowls filled with silver grain and silver bowls filled with golden grain. Approaching the king, they bowed their heads and said: "How wonderful, Great King! This eastern land is prosperous and joyful, abounding in treasures, with a thriving populace whose nature is kind and gentle, devoted to filial piety, loyalty, and obedience. We only wish that the Sage King would govern here. We shall serve at your side and carry out whatever duties are required." The Wheel-Turning King then said to the lesser kings: "Stop, stop, virtuous ones! You have already offered me sufficient tribute. Rather, you should govern through the Dharma, without partiality or injustice, and ensure that no unwholesome practices occur within your lands. Refrain from taking life yourself, and teach others not to kill, steal, commit sexual misconduct, speak divisively, use harsh words, lie, or engage in idle chatter. Likewise, guide others away from greed, jealousy, and wrong views. This is what I call true governance."

「時，諸小王聞是教已，即從大王巡行諸國，至東海表，次行南方、西方、北方，隨輪所至，其諸國王各獻國土，亦如東方諸小王比。此閻浮提所有名曰土沃野豐，多出珍寶，林水清淨，平廣之處，輪則周行，封盡圖度東西十二由旬，南北十由旬，天神於中夜造城墎，其城七重，七重欄楯、七重羅網、七重行樹，周匝校飾，七寶所成，乃至無數眾鳥相和而鳴。造此城已，金輪寶復於其城中，圖度封地東西四由旬，南北二由旬，天神於中夜造宮殿，宮牆七重，七寶所成，乃至無數眾鳥相和而鳴，亦復如是。造宮殿已，時，金輪寶在宮殿上虛空中住，完具而不動轉。轉輪聖王踊躍而言：『此金輪寶真為我瑞，我今真為轉輪聖王。』是為金輪寶成就。

> At that time, when the lesser kings heard this teaching, they followed the Great King on a tour through the various countries. They went to the eastern border of the sea, and then continued south, west, and north. Wherever the wheel traveled, the kings of those countries each offered their territories, just like the lesser kings of the east. On this Jambudvīpa, there was a land called fertile and abundant, rich in treasures, with pure forests and waters, and vast open plains. The wheel traveled around it, measuring and marking out the land—twelve yojanas from east to west, and ten yojanas from south to north. In the middle of the night, the gods built a city there, with seven layers of walls, seven layers of balustrades, seven layers of netting, and seven layers of trees, all ornately adorned and made of the seven treasures—even countless birds sang in harmony together. After the city was built, the golden wheel treasure, still within the city, measured and marked out an area four yojanas from east to west and two yojanas from south to north. In the middle of the night, the gods built a palace there, with seven layers of palace walls, made of the seven treasures—even countless birds sang in harmony together, just as before. Once the palace was built, the golden wheel treasure came to rest in the sky above the palace, complete and unmoving. The Wheel-Turning Sage King leaped with joy and said: "This golden wheel treasure is truly an auspicious sign for me. Now I am indeed a Wheel-Turning Sage King." This is what is meant by the fulfillment of the golden wheel treasure.

「云何白象寶成就？轉輪聖王清旦於正殿上坐，自然象寶忽現在前，其毛純白，七處平住，力能飛行，其首雜色，六牙纖𦟛，真金間填。時，王見已念言：『此象賢良，若善調者可中御乘。』即試調習，諸能悉備。時，轉輪王欲自試象，即乘其上，清旦出城，周行四海，食時以還。時，轉輪王踊躍而言：『此白象寶真為我瑞，我今真為轉輪聖王。』是為象寶成就。

> What is the accomplishment of the white elephant treasure? When a Wheel-Turning Sage King sits in the main hall at dawn, a natural elephant treasure suddenly appears before him. Its fur is pure white, its seven parts stand firm, and it has the power to fly through the air. Its head is multi-colored, with six delicate tusks inlaid with real gold. Seeing this, the king thinks: "This elephant is excellent. If properly trained, it can serve as a mount." He then tests its training, and all its abilities are complete. When the Wheel-Turning King wishes to test the elephant himself, he rides upon it, leaves the city at dawn, travels around the four seas, and returns by mealtime. The Wheel-Turning King then joyfully declares: "This white elephant treasure is truly my auspicious sign. I am now truly a Wheel-Turning Sage King." This is the accomplishment of the elephant treasure.

「云何轉輪聖王紺馬寶成就？時，轉輪聖王清旦在正殿上坐，自然馬寶忽現在前，紺青色，朱騣尾，頭頸如象，力能飛行。時，王見已念言：『此馬賢良，若善調者，可中御乘。』即試調習，諸能悉備。時，轉輪聖王欲自試馬寶，即乘其上，清旦出城，周行四海，食時已還。時，轉輪王踊躍而言：『此紺馬寶真為我瑞，我今真為轉輪聖王。』是為紺馬寶成就。

> How does the Wheel-Turning King attain the treasure of the dark-blue horse? At that time, the Wheel-Turning King was seated in the main hall at dawn when, suddenly, the horse treasure appeared before him—dark blue in color, with a crimson mane and tail, a head and neck like an elephant's, and capable of flying through the air. Seeing it, the King thought: "This horse is excellent; if well-trained, it can be ridden." He then tested and trained it, and all its abilities were complete. Wanting to test the horse treasure himself, the Wheel-Turning King mounted it and, at dawn, rode out of the city, circling the four seas, and returned by mealtime. The Wheel-Turning King then rejoiced and said: "This dark-blue horse treasure is truly my auspicious sign; I am indeed now the Wheel-Turning King." This is how the treasure of the dark-blue horse is attained.

「云何神珠寶成就？時，轉輪聖王於清旦在正殿上坐，自然神珠忽現在前，質色清徹，無有瑕穢。時，王見已言：『此珠妙好，若有光明，可照宮內。』時，轉輪王欲試此珠，即召四兵，以此寶珠置高幢上，於夜冥中，齎幢出城。其珠光明照一由旬，現城中人皆起作務，謂為是晝。時，轉輪聖王踊躍而言：『今此神珠真為我瑞，我今真為轉輪聖王。』是為神珠寶成就。

> "What is the accomplishment of the sacred jewel treasure? At that time, the Wheel-Turning Sage King was seated in the main hall during the early morning, when a sacred jewel suddenly appeared before him. Its substance and color were clear and transparent, free from any blemish or impurity. Seeing it, the king said: 'This jewel is exquisite and fine—if it could shine with light, it could illuminate the entire palace.' Then, wishing to test the jewel, the Wheel-Turning King summoned his fourfold army, placed the jewel atop a tall banner pole, and in the darkness of night, carried the pole out of the city. The jewel's radiance illuminated one yojana, and the city's residents all rose and began their work, believing it was daytime. The Wheel-Turning Sage King then leaped with joy and said: 'Now this sacred jewel is truly an auspicious sign for me—I am indeed the Wheel-Turning Sage King.' This is what is meant by the accomplishment of the sacred jewel treasure."

「云何玉女寶成就？時，玉女寶忽然出現，顏色溶溶，面貌端正，不長不短，不麤不細，不白不黑，不剛不柔，冬則身溫，夏則身涼，舉身毛孔出栴檀香，口出優鉢羅花香，言語柔濡，舉動安詳，先起後坐，不失宜則。時，轉輪聖王見已無著，心不暫念，況復親近？時，轉輪聖王見已，踊躍而言：『此玉女寶真為我瑞，我今真為轉輪聖王。』是為玉女寶成就。

「云何居士寶成就？時，居士丈夫忽然自出，寶藏自然財富無量，居士宿福，眼能徹視地中伏藏，有主無主皆悉見知，其有主者能為擁護，其無主者取給王用。時，居士寶往白王言：『大王！有所給與，不足為憂，我自能辦。』轉輪聖王欲試居士寶，即勅嚴船於水遊戲，告居士曰：『我須金寶，汝速與我。』居士報曰：『大王小待，須至岸上。』王尋逼言：『我今須用，正爾得來。』時，居士寶被王嚴勅，即於船上長跪，以右手內著水中，水中寶瓶隨手而出，如虫緣樹，彼居士寶亦復如是，內手水中，寶緣手出，充滿船上，而白王言：『向須寶用，為須幾許？』時，轉輪聖王語居士言：『止！止！吾無所須，向相試耳，汝今便為供養我已。』時，居士聞王語已，尋以寶物還沒水中。時，轉輪聖王踊躍而言：『此居士寶真為我瑞，我今真為轉輪聖王。』是為居士寶成就。

「云何主兵寶成就？時，主兵寶忽然出現，智謀雄猛，英略獨決，即詣王所白言：『大王！有所討罰，不足為憂，我自能辦。』時，轉輪聖王欲試主兵寶，即集四兵而告之曰：『汝今用兵，未集者集，已集者放，未嚴者嚴，已嚴者解，未去者去，已去者住。』時，主兵寶聞王語已，即令四兵，未集者集，已集者放，未嚴者嚴，已嚴者解，未去者去，已去者住。時，轉輪聖王見已，踊躍而言：『此主兵寶真為我瑞，我今真為轉輪聖王。』是為轉輪聖王七寶成就。

> How does the manifestation of the military treasure come about? At that time, the military treasure suddenly appears—possessing wisdom, valor, and decisive strategy. It approaches the king and says, "Great King, if there is any campaign to undertake, there is no need for worry. I am fully capable of handling it." Then, to test the military treasure, the Wheel-Turning King assembles his fourfold army and commands, "With your command over the troops, gather those who are not yet assembled, disband those already gathered, equip those not yet equipped, disarm those already equipped, send off those not yet departed, and halt those already on the move." Upon hearing the king's command, the military treasure immediately directs the fourfold army—gathering those not yet assembled, disbanding those already gathered, equipping those not yet equipped, disarming those already equipped, sending off those not yet departed, and halting those already on the move. Seeing this, the Wheel-Turning King leaps with joy and declares, "This military treasure is truly my auspicious sign. I am now indeed the Wheel-Turning King." This is how the Wheel-Turning King attains the perfection of his seven treasures.

「謂四神德，一者長壽不夭無能及者，二者身強無患無能及者，三者顏貌端正無能及者，四者寶藏盈溢無能及者，是為轉輪聖王成就七寶及四功德。

> He possesses four divine virtues: first, he enjoys a life so long that no one can rival it; second, his body is so strong and free from illness that no one can match it; third, his appearance is so dignified and handsome that no one can surpass it; fourth, his treasure stores are so abundant that no one can equal them. These are the Wheel-Turning Sage King’s accomplishments of the seven treasures and four merits.

「時，轉輪聖王久乃命駕出遊後園，尋告御者：『汝當善御而行。所以然者？吾欲諦觀國土人民安樂無患。』時，國人民路次觀者，復語侍人：『汝且徐行，吾欲諦觀聖王威顏。』時，轉輪聖王慈育民物如父愛子，國民慕王如子仰父，所有珍琦盡以貢王，願埀納受，在意所與。時，王報曰：『且止！諸人！吾自有寶，汝可自用。』

「轉輪聖王治此閻浮提時，其地平正，無有荊棘、坑坎、堆阜，亦無蚊虻、蜂蝎、蠅蚤、蛇蚖、惡蟲，石沙、瓦礫自然沈沒，金銀寶玉現於地上，四時和調，不寒不熱，其地柔濡，無有塵穢，如油塗地，潔淨光澤，無有塵穢。轉輪聖王治於世時，地亦如是，地出流泉，清淨無竭，生柔濡草，冬夏常青，樹木繁茂，花果熾盛，地生濡草，色如孔翠，香若婆師，濡如天衣，足蹈地時，地凹四寸，舉足還復，無空缺處，自然粳米無有糠糩，眾味具足。時有香樹，花果茂盛，其果熟時，果自然裂，出自然香，香氣馥熏。復有衣樹，花果茂盛，其果熟時，皮殼自裂，出種種衣。復有莊嚴樹，花果熾盛，其果熟時，皮殼自裂，出種種莊嚴具。復有鬘樹，花果茂盛，其果熟時，皮殼自裂，出種種鬘。復有器樹，花果茂盛，其果熟時，皮殼自裂，出種種器。復有果樹，花果茂盛，其果熟時，皮殼自裂，出種種果。復有樂器樹，花果茂盛，其果熟時，皮殼自裂，出眾樂器。

「轉輪聖王治於世時，阿耨達龍王於中夜後起大密雲，彌滿世界而降大雨，如搆牛頃，雨八味水，潤澤周普，地無停水，亦無泥淖，潤澤沾洽，生長草木。猶如鬘師水灑花鬘，使花鮮澤，令不萎枯，時雨潤澤，亦復如是。又時於中夜後，空中清明，淨無雲曀，海出涼風，清淨調柔，觸身生樂。聖王治時，此閻浮提五穀豐賤，人民熾盛，財寶豐饒，無所匱乏。

「當時，轉輪聖王以正治國，無有阿抂，修十善行，爾時諸人民亦修正見，具十善行。其王久久，身生重患，而取命終。時猶如樂人，食如小過，身小不適，而便命終，生梵天上。時玉女寶、居士寶、主兵寶及國士民作倡伎樂，葬聖王身。其王玉女寶、居士寶、主兵寶、國內士民，以香湯洗浴王身，以劫貝纏五百張疊，次如纏之，奉舉王身，置金棺裏，以香油灌置鐵槨裏。復以木槨重衣其外，積眾香薪重衣其上，而耶維之，於四衢道頭起七寶塔，縱廣一由旬，雜色參間，以七寶成。其塔四面各有一門，周匝欄楯，以七寶成。其塔四面空地縱廣五由旬，園牆七重、七重欄楯、七重羅網、七重行樹，金牆銀門，銀牆金門，琉璃牆水精門，水精牆琉璃門，赤珠牆馬瑙門，馬瑙牆赤珠門，車𤦲牆眾寶門。其欄楯者，金欄銀桄，銀欄金桄，水精欄琉璃桄，琉璃欄水精桄，赤珠欄馬瑙桄，馬瑙欄赤珠桄，車𤦲欄眾寶桄。其金羅網下懸銀鈴，其銀羅網下懸金鈴，琉璃羅網懸水精鈴，水精羅網懸琉璃鈴，赤珠羅網懸馬瑙鈴，馬瑙羅網懸赤珠鈴，車𤦲羅網懸眾寶鈴。其金樹者銀葉花實，其銀樹者金葉花實，其琉璃樹水精花葉，水精樹琉璃花葉，赤珠樹者馬瑙花葉，馬瑙樹赤珠花葉，車𤦲樹眾寶花葉。其四園牆復有四門，周匝欄楯。又其牆上皆有樓閣寶臺，其牆四面有樹木園林、流泉浴池，生種種花，樹木繁茂，花果熾盛，眾香芬馥，異鳥哀鳴。其塔成已，玉女寶、居士寶、典兵寶、舉國士民皆來供養此塔，施諸窮乏，須食與食，須衣與衣，象馬寶乘，給眾所須，隨意所與。轉輪聖王威神功德，其事如是。」
