Dutiya Vagga The Second Sub Group

278. “Bhikkhus, it is simply impossible to imagine that there could be two Wheel-Turning Universal Monarchs (Cakkavattins) appearing in the same world system, at the same time. There is absolutely no possibility for this to occur.

“However, it is quite possible for a single Wheel-Turning Universal Monarch to appear in a world system. There is indeed the possibility for this to occur.”
