mn91:5.1 “But sir, how shall I find out whether or not the ascetic Gotama lives up to his reputation?”
BAGIAN 5
mn91:5.3 “Dear Uttara, the thirty-two marks of a great man have been handed down in our hymns. A great man who possesses these has only two possible destinies, no other.
mn91:5.4 If he stays at home he becomes a king, a wheel-turning monarch, a just and principled king. His dominion extends to all four sides, he achieves stability in the country, and he possesses the seven treasures.
mn91:5.5 He has the following seven treasures:
mn91:5.6 the wheel, the elephant, the horse, the jewel, the woman, the householder, and the commander as the seventh treasure.
mn91:5.7 He has over a thousand sons who are valiant and heroic, crushing the armies of his enemies.
mn91:5.8 After conquering this land girt by sea, he reigns by principle, without rod or sword.
mn91:5.9 But if he goes forth from the lay life to homelessness, he becomes a perfected one, a fully awakened Buddha, who has cast off the world’s veil.
mn91:5.10 But, dear Uttara, I am the one who gives the hymns,
mn91:5.11 and you are the one who receives them.”
