[2][pts] At Sāvatthī.

"Bhikkhus, with the manifestation of a wheel-turning monarch comes the manifestation of seven gems.

What seven?

There comes the manifestation of the wheel-gem, the elephant-gem, the horse-gem, the jewel-gem, the woman-gem, the steward-gem, and the commander-gem.

"With the manifestation of a Tathāgata bhikkhus, an Arahant, a Perfectly Enlightened One, comes the manifestation of the seven gems of the factors of enlightenment.

What seven?

There comes the manifestation of the gem of the enlightenment factor of mindfulness ... the gem of the enlightenment factor of equanimity.

With the manifestation of a Tathāgata an Arahant, a Perfectly Enlightened One, comes the manifestation of these seven gems of the factors of enlightenment."
