Situated at Sāvatthi.
OK then, at an occasion in the forenoon, Vajirā the almswoman having got dressed, having taken up bowl and robe, enters Sāvatthi for a lump of food. Having walked in Sāvatthi for a lump of food, after the meal, having gone back from receiving the lump of food, she went by there where Blind Men's Jungle is for the day's dwelling. Having plunged into Blind Men's Jungle she sat down at a certain root of a tree, the dwelling for the day. OK then Māra the evil one went by there where the almswoman Vajirā was to arise lust, fear, the shivers, goose bumps, to drive away through lust almswoman Vajirā from concentration. Having approached Vajirā the almswoman he talks here in verse:
'By whom is this, the being, made?
Where is of the being the maker?
Where is the being risen?
Where does the being cease?'
OK then to Vajirā the almswoman it was like this: OK this verse, who now talks, is it or a human or not a human? OK then to Vajirā the almswoman it was like this: 'OK this verse, it is Māra the evil one. He talks to arise lust, fear, the shivers, goose bumps, to drive away through lust me from concentration.' OK then Vajirā the almswoman thus finding this Māra the evil one, she gave a talk against the evil Māra in verses:
'Now what 'being' did you came on to,
Māra is your view gone now?
Clearly this pile of inclinations,
here as inference a being is found.
For as with an assembly of members,
the chariot is, thus is the being.
So it is at the masses,
a being exists in consent.
For just suffering appears,
suffering stands and wanes.
No other appears from suffering,
not another ceases from suffering.'
OK then Māra the evil one 'The almswoman Vajirā is familiar with me' grieved, disappointed, he vanished just there.
