Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā vesāliyaṁ viharati mahāvane kūṭāgārasālāyaṁ.

At one time the Buddha was staying near Vesālī, at the Great Wood, in the hall with the peaked roof.

Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā channaṁ phassāyatanānaṁ upādāya bhikkhūnaṁ dhammiyā kathāya sandasseti samādapeti samuttejeti sampahaṁseti.

Now at that time the Buddha was educating, encouraging, firing up, and inspiring the mendicants with a Dhamma talk on the topic of the six fields of contact.
6

तेte चca भिक्खूbhik·khū अट्ठिंaṭ·ṭhiṃ कत्वाkat·vā मनसिma·na·si कत्वाkat·vā सब्बचेतसाsab·ba·ce·ta·sā समन्नाहरित्वाsa·man·nā·ha·rit·vā ओहितसोताo·hi·ta·so·tā धम्मंdham·maṃ सुणन्ति।su·ṇan·ti

Te ca bhikkhū aṭṭhiṁ katvā manasi katvā sabbacetasā samannāharitvā ohitasotā dhammaṁ suṇanti.

And those mendicants were paying attention, applying the mind, concentrating wholeheartedly, and actively listening.

अथa·tha खोkho मारस्सmā·ras·sa पापिमतोpā·pi·ma·to एतदहोसि:e·ta·da·ho·si

Atha kho mārassa pāpimato etadahosi:

Then Māra thought,

“ayaṁ kho samaṇo gotamo channaṁ phassāyatanānaṁ upādāya bhikkhūnaṁ dhammiyā kathāya sandasseti samādapeti samuttejeti sappahaṁseti.

“This ascetic Gotama is educating, encouraging, firing up, and inspiring the mendicants with a Dhamma talk on the topic of the six fields of contact.

Why don’t I go and pull the wool over their eyes?”

Then Māra the Wicked went up to the Buddha and made a terrifyingly loud noise close by him. It seemed as if the earth were shattering, so that one of the mendicants said to another,
12

“भिक्खुbhik·khu भिक्खु,bhik·khu एसाe·sā पथवीpa·tha·vī मञ्ञेmañ·ñe उन्द्रीयती”ति।un·drī·ya·tī

“bhikkhu bhikkhu, esā pathavī maññe undrīyatī”ti.

“Mendicant, mendicant, it seems like the earth is shattering!”
13

एवंe·vaṃ वुत्ते,vut·te भगवाbha·ga·vā तंtaṃ भिक्खुंbhik·khuṃ एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

Evaṁ vutte, bhagavā taṁ bhikkhuṁ etadavoca:

When this was said, the Buddha said to that mendicant,
14

“नेसा,ne·sā भिक्खु,bhik·khu पथवीpa·tha·vī उन्द्रीयति।un·drī·ya·ti

“nesā, bhikkhu, pathavī undrīyati.

“Mendicant, that’s not the earth shattering.
15

Māro eso pāpimā tumhākaṁ vicakkhukammāya āgato”ti.

That’s Māra the Wicked come to pull the wool over your eyes!”
16

अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā “मारोmā·ro अयंa·yaṃ पापिमा”pā·pi·mā इतिi·ti विदित्वाvi·dit·vā मारंmā·raṃ पापिमन्तंpā·pi·man·taṃ गाथायgā·thā·ya अज्झभासि:aj·jha·bhā·si

Atha kho bhagavā “māro ayaṁ pāpimā” iti viditvā māraṁ pāpimantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:

Then the Buddha, knowing that this was Māra the Wicked, addressed him in verse:
17

“रूपाrū·pā सद्दाsad·dā रसाra·sā गन्धा,gan·dhā

“Rūpā saddā rasā gandhā,

“Sights, sounds, tastes, smells,

Etaṁ lokāmisaṁ ghoraṁ,

this is the terrible bait

that the world’s infatuated by.
21

एतञ्चe·tañ·ca समतिक्कम्म,sa·ma·tik·kam·ma

Etañca samatikkamma,

But a mindful disciple of the Buddha
22

has transcended all that.
23

Having slipped free of Māra’s dominion,
24

they dazzle like the sun.”
25

Then Māra … vanished right there.
