A Mental Snare
एवं मे सुतं—एकं समयं भगवा सावत्थियं विहरति जेतवने अनाथपिण्डिकस्स आरामे।
Evaṁ me sutaṁ—ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.
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:
“अन्तलिक्खचरो पासो, य्वायं चरति मानसो; तेन तं बाधयिस्सामि, न मे समण मोक्खसी”ति।
“Antalikkhacaro pāso, yvāyaṁ carati mānaso; Tena taṁ bādhayissāmi, na me samaṇa mokkhasī”ti.
“There’s a mental snare wandering the sky. I’ll bind you with it—you won’t escape me, ascetic!”
“रूपा सद्दा रसा गन्धा, फोट्ठब्बा च मनोरमा; एत्थ मे विगतो छन्दो, निहतो त्वमसि अन्तका”ति।
“Rūpā saddā rasā gandhā, Phoṭṭhabbā ca manoramā; Ettha me vigato chando, Nihato tvamasi antakā”ti.
“Sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and touches so delightful: desire for these is gone from me. You’re beaten, terminator!”
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.
