SB Canto 9

The greatly fortunate Śaśabindu, who was a great mystic, possessed fourteen opulences and was the owner of fourteen great jewels. Thus he became the emperor of the world.

SB 9.23.30-31, Translation and Purport: O Mahārāja Parīkṣit, because Yadu, Madhu and Vṛṣṇi each inaugurated a dynasty, their dynasties are known as Yādava, Mādhava and Vṛṣṇi. The son of Yadu named Kroṣṭā had a son named Vṛjinavān. The son of Vṛjinavān was Svāhita; the son of Svāhita, Viṣadgu; the son of Viṣadgu, Citraratha; and the son of Citraratha, Śaśabindu. The greatly fortunate Śaśabindu, who was a great mystic, possessed fourteen opulences and was the owner of fourteen great jewels. Thus he became the emperor of the world.

In the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa the fourteen kinds of great jewels are described as follows:

1. an elephant;
2. a horse;
3. a chariot;
4. a wife;
5. arrows;
6. a reservoir of wealth;
7. a garland;
8. valuable costumes;
9. trees;
10. a spear;
11. a noose;
12. jewels;
13. an umbrella;
14. regulative principles.

To be the emperor, one must possess all fourteen of these opulences. Śaśabindu possessed them all.
