एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो आयस्मा राधो भगवन्तं एतदवोच:
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:
“‘मारो, मारोऽति, भन्ते, वुच्चति। कतमो नु खो, भन्ते, मारो”ति?
“‘māro, māro’ti, bhante, vuccati. Katamo nu kho, bhante, māro”ti?
“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘Māra’. How is Māra defined?”
“रूपं खो, राध, मारो, वेदना मारो, सञ्ञा मारो, सङ्खारा मारो, विञ्ञाणं मारो।
“Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, māro, vedanā māro, saññā māro, saṅkhārā māro, viññāṇaṁ māro.
“Rādha, form is Māra, feeling is Māra, perception is Māra, choices are Māra, consciousness is Māra.
एवं पस्सं, राध, सुतवा अरियसावको रूपस्मिम्पि निब्बिन्दति, वेदनायपि निब्बिन्दति, सञ्ञायपि निब्बिन्दति, सङ्खारेसुपि निब्बिन्दति, विञ्ञाणस्मिम्पि निब्बिन्दति। निब्बिन्दं विरज्जति; विरागा विमुच्चति। विमुत्तस्मिं विमुत्तमिति ञाणं होति।
Evaṁ passaṁ, rādha, sutavā ariyasāvako rūpasmimpi nibbindati, vedanāyapi nibbindati, saññāyapi nibbindati, saṅkhāresupi nibbindati, viññāṇasmimpi nibbindati. Nibbindaṁ virajjati; virāgā vimuccati. Vimuttasmiṁ vimuttamiti ñāṇaṁ hoti.
Seeing this, a learned noble disciple grows disillusioned with form, feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness. Being disillusioned, desire fades away. When desire fades away they’re freed. When they’re freed, they know they’re freed.
‘खीणा जाति, वुसितं ब्रह्मचरियं, कतं करणीयं, नापरं इत्थत्तायाऽति पजानाती”ति।
‘Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ, nāparaṁ itthattāyā’ti pajānātī”ti.
They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is no return to any state of existence.’”
