A cakravartin is a king who rules over at least one continent, and gains his territory by the rolling of his magic wheel over the land. Therefore he is called a “king with the revolving wheel.” This is as the result of the merit he has accumulated in previous lifetimes. A balacakravartin king is a lesser kind of cakravartin who has attained his dominion through his great might and his powerful army.
