Chakravarti (Sanskrit term)

Chakravarti is a Sanskrit term that describes a powerful leader or ruler who rules over a vast kingdom.

Think of a chakravarti like a king of a magical kingdom. They have lots of power and lead the people in their kingdom. They are very wise and kind and they want to make sure everyone in their kingdom is happy and safe.

The word "chakra" means "wheel" or "circle," and "varti" means "one who travels in a circle." So a chakravarti is like a king who travels around his kingdom, making sure that everything is working well and everyone is happy.

In many ancient Indian stories and myths, there were chakravartis who ruled over large territories and were considered great leaders. They were respected and admired by their people, and were often seen as almost magical figures who had special powers to protect and help their subjects.

So, in summary, a chakravarti is a powerful and wise leader who rules over a large kingdom and is committed to ensuring that his people are happy and safe.
