एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो आयस्मा राधो भगवन्तं एतदवोच:
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:
“‘मारधम्मो, मारधम्मोऽति, भन्ते, वुच्चति। कतमो नु खो, भन्ते, मारधम्मो”ति?
“‘māradhammo, māradhammo’ti, bhante, vuccati. Katamo nu kho, bhante, māradhammo”ti?
“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘susceptible to Māra’. What is susceptible to Māra?”
“रूपं खो, राध, मारधम्मो, वेदना मारधम्मो, सञ्ञा मारधम्मो, सङ्खारा मारधम्मो, विञ्ञाणं मारधम्मो।
“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, māradhammo, vedanā māradhammo, saññā māradhammo, saṅkhārā māradhammo, viññāṇaṁ māradhammo.
“Rādha, form is susceptible to Māra. Feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are susceptible to Māra.
एवं पस्सं …पे… नापरं इत्थत्तायाति पजानाती”ति।
Evaṁ passaṁ …pe… nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
Seeing this … They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’”
