Vejayanta2
PersonEin Streitwagen Sakkas, gezogen von tausend Pferden mit Mātali als Wagenlenker, verwendet sowohl in der Schlacht als auch, um herausragende Menschen nach Tāvatiṃsa zu holen.
A chariot owned by Sakka, one hundred and fifty leagues in length (DA.ii.481; SA.i.261; J.i.202), and drawn by one thousand horses, with Mātali as charioteer (S.i.224). Sakka rode into battle in this chariot (J.i.202), and it was sent to fetch distinguished humans to Tāvatiṃsa — e.g., Nimi, Guttila, and Sādhīna (q.v.) The Sudhābhojana Jātaka (J.v.408 f ) contains a description of the chariot with its pole of gold and its framework overlaid with gilt representations of various animals and birds. When the chariot travelled the whole world was filled with the sound of its wheels.
