BAGIAN 40
mn129:40.1 Next, the householder-treasure appears to the wheel-turning monarch.
mn129:40.2 The power of clairvoyance manifests in him as a result of past deeds, by which he sees treasure troves, both owned and ownerless.
mn129:40.3 He approaches the wheel-turning monarch and says,
mn129:40.4 ‘Relax, Your Majesty. I will take care of the treasury.’
mn129:40.5 Once it so happened that the wheel-turning monarch, testing that same householder-treasure, boarded a boat and sailed to the middle of the Ganges River. Then he said to the householder-treasure,
mn129:40.6 ‘Householder, I need gold, both coined and uncoined.’
mn129:40.7 ‘Well then, Great King, draw the boat up to one shore.’
mn129:40.8 ‘It’s right here, householder, that I need gold, both coined and uncoined.’
mn129:40.9 Then that householder-treasure, immersing both hands in the water, pulled up a pot full of gold, both coined and uncoined, and said to the king,
mn129:40.10 ‘Is this sufficient, Great King? Has enough been done, Great King, enough offered?’
mn129:40.11 The wheel-turning monarch said,
mn129:40.12 ‘That is sufficient, householder. Enough has been done, enough offered.’
mn129:40.13 Such is the householder-treasure that appears to the wheel-turning monarch.
