Chakravartis possess immense wealth and power; more than any one else in the human world. But still, these material wealth and power cannot lead to true and eternal happiness; and one day this great majesty of the Chakravarti also perishes into soil.

‎

A Chakravarti, if he renounces these worldly pleasures; can become God (like Bharat Chakravarti) or go to heaven. Alternatively, if a Chakravarti becomes a slave of his senses, wealth, power, belongings etc. goes compulsorily to the hell.

And thus, even Chakravarti; on realizing the fickleness of the materialistic world, to get eternal happiness and bliss; he renounces this world leaving all his belongings and moves forward on the path of salvation.
