SA 1103（一一〇三） 入处

Thus have I heard:

Once, the Buddha was staying in the wilderness near Rājagṛha, together with a group of six hundred bhikṣus. He spoke to the bhikṣus about the origination of the six sense bases, the origination of contact, and the cessation of contact.

At that time, Māra Pāpīyān had this thought: "Now the Śramaṇa Gautama is staying in the wilderness near Rājagṛha, together with a group of six hundred bhikṣus. He is teaching them that the six sense bases are the origination of contact and the cessation of contact. I should go there now to create obstacles for him." He transformed himself into a strong man with a large body, brave and vigorous, able to shake the earth with his strength, and came to where the Buddha was.

Those bhikṣus saw from afar the strong man with a large body, brave and vigorous. Seeing him, they became frightened and their body hairs stood on end. They said to each other: "What is that? Its appearance is frightening.

At that time, the World-Honored One told the bhikṣus: "This is Māra the Evil One, who wants to create disturbances.

At that time, the World-Honored One spoke a verse, saying:

Form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and the sixth, all phenomena, are
loved and pleasing to the mind. This is all there is
in the world. This is the most evil craving that binds
ordinary beings. Those who transcend this are the Buddha's noble disciples
They have transcended the realm of Māra, like the sun without clouds.

At that time, Māra Pāpīyān thought, "The Śramaṇa Gautama already knows my mind." He was inwardly distressed and disappeared.
