Endowed with five qualities, monks, a king who is a
universal monarch righteously sets in motion the
wheel; which wheel is irreversible by anyone, by any
human being, by any opponent, by any living being.

Katamehi pa~ncahi?
What five?

Idha, bhikkhave, raajaa cakkavattii attha~n~nuu ca
hoti, dhamma~n~nuu ca, matta~n~nuu ca, kaala~n~nuu ca,
parisa~n~nuu ca.
Here, monks, a king who is a universal monarch is one
who knows what is useful, one who knows the teachings,
one who is moderate, one who knows the proper time,
and one who knows the assembly.

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pa~ncahi a.mgehi samannaagato
raajaa cakkavattii dhammeneva cakka.m pavatteti; ta.m
hoti cakka.m appa.tivattiya.m kenaci manussabhuutena
paccatthikena paa.ninaa.
Endowed with these five qualities, monks, a king who
is a universal monarch righteously sets in motion the
wheel; which wheel is irreversible by anyone, by any
human being, by any opponent, by any living being.

Metta,
John
