Subject to Māra Māradhammasutta

At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha: Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“Sir, they speak of ‘Māra nature’. “‘māradhammo, māradhammo’ti, bhante, vuccati. What is of Māra nature?” Katamo nu kho, bhante, māradhammo”ti?

“Rādha, form is of Māra nature. Feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are of Māra nature. “Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, māradhammo, vedanā māradhammo, saññā māradhammo, saṅkhārā māradhammo, viññāṇaṁ māradhammo.

Seeing this … Evaṁ passaṁ …pe… They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’” nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
