Paṭhamacakkānuvattanasutta Wielding Power (1st)

ā€œPaƱcahi, bhikkhave, aį¹…gehi samannāgato rājā cakkavattÄ« dhammeneva cakkaṁ vatteti; ā€œMendicants, possessing five factors a wheel-turning monarch wields power only in a principled manner.

taṁ hoti cakkaṁ appaį¹­ivattiyaṁ kenaci manussabhÅ«tena paccatthikena pāṇinā. And this power cannot be undermined by any human enemy.

Katamehi paƱcahi? What five?

Idha, bhikkhave, rājā cakkavattī atthaññū ca hoti, dhammaññū ca, mattaññū ca, kālaññū ca, parisaññū ca. A wheel-turning monarch knows what is right, knows principle, knows moderation, knows the right time, and knows the assembly.

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, paƱcahi aį¹…gehi samannāgato rājā cakkavattÄ« dhammeneva cakkaṁ pavatteti; A wheel-turning monarch who possesses these five factors wields power only in a principled manner.

taṁ hoti cakkaṁ appaį¹­ivattiyaṁ kenaci manussabhÅ«tena paccatthikena pāṇinā. And this power cannot be undermined by any human enemy.

Evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato tathāgato arahaṁ sammāsambuddho dhammeneva anuttaraṁ dhammacakkaṁ pavatteti; 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.

taṁ hoti cakkaṁ appaį¹­ivattiyaṁ samaṇena vā brāhmaṇena vā devena vā mārena vā brahmunā vā kenaci vā lokasmiṁ. And that wheel cannot be rolled back by any ascetic or brahmin or god or Māra or divinity or by anyone in the world.
