The Discourse on the Mind
151.
Thus have I heard -
On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Sāvatthī in Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's park.
Then Māra the Evil One approached the Blessed One;
having approached, he addressed the Blessed One in verse -
"The snare that moves through the sky, that which prowls connected with the mind;
With that I will bind you, you will not escape from me, ascetic."
"Forms, sounds, flavours, odours, tangible objects and delightful things;
Here my desire has departed, you are defeated, O Death."
Then Māra the Evil One, thinking "the Blessed One knows me, the Fortunate One knows me", afflicted and unhappy, disappeared right there.
