The First Discourse on Lust
68.
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Worthy One, thus have I heard:
"For whoever, monks, lust has not been abandoned, hate has not been abandoned, delusion has not been abandoned - this one is called, monks, 'bound by Māra, the snare of Māra is fastened on him, subject to be done with as wished by the Evil One'. For whoever, monks, lust has been abandoned, hate has been abandoned, delusion has been abandoned - this one is called, monks, 'unbound by Māra, the snare of Māra is cast off, not subject to be done with as wished by the Evil One'." The Blessed One said this meaning. Therein this is said:
That one among those with developed selves, become supreme, a Truth-finder;
A Buddha who has gone beyond enmity and fear, they call him one who has abandoned all."
This meaning too was spoken by the Blessed One, thus have I heard. The ninth.
