Buddha

I am descended from the solar dynasty and I was born a Sakiya,

and by becoming an ascetic who has renounced the world he vindicates his royal dignity, the dignity of an Aryan king. Tradition has it that his person appeared as "a form adorned with all the signs of beauty and surrounded by a radiant aureole." To a sovereign who meets him and does not know who he is, he immediately gives the impression of an equal:

Thou hast a perfect body, thou art resplendent, well-born, of noble aspect, thou hast a golden colour, and white teeth, thou art strong. All the signs that thou art of noble birth are in they form, all the marks of a superior man."

The most fearsome bandit, meeting him, asks himself in amazement who might be "this ascetic who comes alone with no companions, like a conqueror." - He was endowed with the "thirty-two attributes" - mark of the superior man for whom "exist only 2 possibilities - either, to remain in the world and to become a cakkavatti, a king of kings, a universal sovereign - Aryan prototype of the Lord of the Earth or else to renounce the world and to become perfectly awakened -

"In the world of angels and demons and gods, among the ranks of ascetics and preits, I do not see, O Brahman, anyone whom I should respectfully salute nor before whom I should rise for him to be seated."

I serve no man, I have no need to serve any man."

Ascetic, pure, the knower, free, sovereign
