Similarly, monks, endowed with five qualities, the
Buddha, the worthy one, the supremely enlightened one,
righteously sets in motion the unsurpassed wheel of
truth; which wheel is irreversible by a recluse, or by
a Brahmin, or by a deity, or by the devil, or by the
supreme god, or by anyone in this world.

Katamehi pa~ncahi?
What five?

Idha, bhikkhave, tathaagato araha.m sammaasambuddho
attha~n~nuu, dhamma~n~nuu, matta~n~nuu, kaala~n~nuu,
parisa~n~nuu.
Here, monks, the Buddha, the worthy one, the supremely
enlightened one, 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 dhammehi samannaagato

Endowed with these five qualities, monks, the Buddha,
the worthy one, the supremely enlightened one,
righteously sets in motion the unsurpassed wheel of
truth; which wheel is irreversible by a monk, or by a
Brahmin, or by a deity, or by the devil, or by the
supreme god, or by anyone in this world.
