轉輪聖王等與佛相較

轉輪聖王若極多領四天下,佛領無量諸世界;轉輪聖王財自在,佛心自在;轉輪聖王貪求天樂,佛乃至有頂樂亦不貪著;轉輪聖王從他求樂,佛內心自樂。以是因緣,佛勝轉輪聖王。諸餘釋、梵、護世者,亦復如是,但於轉輪勝王小勝。

Buddha Compared to the Wheel-turning Kings and Others

The Noble Wheel-turning Kings at the very most preside over a realm consisting of four continents. The Buddha presides over all worlds. The Noble Wheel-turning Kings possess the sovereignty of wealth. The Buddha possesses sovereignty of the mind. The Noble Wheel-turning Kings covet and crave the bliss of the heavens. The Buddha does not covet or become attached to any bliss whatsoever, not even that which characterizes the summit of existence. The Noble Wheel-turning Kings seek bliss from others. As for the Buddha, internally, his mind is naturally blissful. For these reasons, the Buddha is superior to the Noble Wheel-turning Kings. And this is also the case with respect to all the others: Indra, Brahma, and the World Guardians. For their part they are only slightly superior to the Noble Wheel-turning Kings.
