  1. About Māra (2nd)

Subject to Māra

At Sāvatthī.

Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

“Sir, they speak of ‘Māra nature’.

“Rādha, form is of Māra nature. Feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are of Māra nature.

Seeing this …

They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
