2. About Māra (2nd)
Subject to Māra
At Sāvatthī.
Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:
“Sir, they speak of ‘Māra nature’. What is 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.’”
