SN 55.1 Cakkavattirāja sutta - The Wheel-Turning Monarch

The Buddha explains that even a Wheel-Turning Monarch, if not endowed with four qualities, is not freed from hell, the animal realm, the ghost realm, and the lower realms. On the other hand, a noble disciple, endowed with four qualities, is freed from these states.
