an7.66:13.1 Then Sunetta developed love for seven years.
an7.66:13.2 Having done so he did not return to this world for seven eons of cosmic expansion and contraction.
an7.66:13.3 As the cosmos contracted he went to the realm of sublime luminosity.
an7.66:13.4 As it expanded he was reborn in an empty mansion of divinity.
an7.66:13.5 There he was the Divinity, the Great Divinity, the vanquisher, the unvanquished, the universal seer, the wielder of power.
an7.66:13.6 He was Sakka, lord of gods, thirty-six times.
an7.66:13.7 Many hundreds of times he was a king, a wheel-turning monarch, a just and principled king. His dominion extended to all four sides, he achieved stability in the country, and he possessed the seven treasures.
an7.66:13.8 He had over a thousand sons who were valiant and heroic, crushing the armies of his enemies.
an7.66:13.9 After conquering this land girt by sea, he reigned by principle, without rod or sword.
an7.66:13.10 Yet even though Sunetta lived so long, he was not free from
an7.66:13.11 rebirth, old age, and death, from sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress. He was not free from suffering, I say.
