एवं मे सुतं—एकं समयं भगवा राजगहे विहरति वेळुवने कलन्दकनिवापे। तत्र खो भगवा …पे… एतदवोच:
Evaṁ me sutaṁ—ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe. Tatra kho bhagavā …pe… etadavoca:
So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrels’ feeding ground. There the Buddha … said:
“अप्पमिदं, भिक्खवे, मनुस्सानं आयु। गमनीयो सम्परायो, कत्तब्बं कुसलं, चरितब्बं ब्रह्मचरियं। नत्थि जातस्स अमरणं। यो, भिक्खवे, चिरं जीवति, सो वस्ससतं अप्पं वा भिय्यो”ति।
“Appamidaṁ, bhikkhave, manussānaṁ āyu. Gamanīyo samparāyo, kattabbaṁ kusalaṁ, caritabbaṁ brahmacariyaṁ. Natthi jātassa amaraṇaṁ. Yo, bhikkhave, ciraṁ jīvati, so vassasataṁ appaṁ vā bhiyyo”ti.
“Bhikkhus, the life span of humans is short. You must go to the next life. So you should do what is skillful, you should practice the spiritual life. No-one born is immortal. A long life is a hundred years or a little more.”
अथ खो मारो पापिमा येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं गाथाय अज्झभासि:
Atha kho māro pāpimā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:
Then Māra the Wicked went up to the Buddha and addressed him in verse:
“नाच्चयन्ति अहोरत्ता, जीवितं नूपरुज्झति; आयु अनुपरियायति मच्चानं, नेमीव रथकुब्बरन्”ति।
“Nāccayanti ahorattā, Jīvitaṁ nūparujjhati; Āyu anupariyāyati maccānaṁ, Nemīva rathakubbaran”ti.
“The days and nights don’t rush by, and life isn’t cut short. The life of mortals keeps rolling on, like a chariot’s rim around the hub.”
“अच्चयन्ति अहोरत्ता, जीवितं उपरुज्झति; आयु खीयति मच्चानं, कुन्नदीनंव ओदकन्”ति।
“Accayanti ahorattā, jīvitaṁ uparujjhati; Āyu khīyati maccānaṁ, kunnadīnaṁva odakan”ti.
“The days and nights rush by, and then life is cut short. The life of mortals wastes away, like the water in tiny streams.”
अथ खो मारो पापिमा “जानाति मं भगवा, जानाति मं सुगतो”ति दुक्खी दुम्मनो तत्थेवन्तरधायीति।
Atha kho māro pāpimā “jānāti maṁ bhagavā, jānāti maṁ sugato”ti dukkhī dummano tatthevantaradhāyīti.
Then Māra the Wicked, thinking, “The Buddha knows me! The Holy One knows me!” miserable and sad, vanished right there.
पठमो वग्गो।
Paṭhamo vaggo.

Tassuddānaṁ
तपोकम्मञ्च नागो च, सुभं पासेन ते दुवे; सप्पो सुपति नन्दनं, आयुना अपरे दुवेति।
Tapokammañca nāgo ca, subhaṁ pāsena te duve; Sappo supati nandanaṁ, āyunā apare duveti.
