1036. The great Rishi, of the royal tribe of Rishis, beneath the Bodhi tree firmly established, resolved by oath to perfect the way of complete deliverance.
1037. The spirits, Nâgas, and the heavenly multitude, all were filled with joy; but Mâra Devarâga, enemy of religion, alone was grieved, and rejoiced not;

1. When the great sage, sprung from a line of royal sages, sat down there with his soul fully resolved to obtain the highest knowledge, the whole world rejoiced; but Mâra, the enemy of the good law, was afraid.

1038. Lord of the five desires, skilled in all the arts of warfare, the foe of those who seek deliverance, therefore his name is rightly given Pisuna.

2. He whom they call in the world Kâmadeva, the owner of the various weapons, the flower-arrowed, the lord of the course of desire,--it is he whom they also style Mâra the enemy of liberation.

1039. Now this Mâra râga had three daughters, mincingly beautiful and of a pleasant countenance, in every way fit by artful ways to enflame a man with love, highest in this respect among the Devîs.
1040. The first was named Yuh-yen (lust-pollution), the second Neng-yueh-gin (able to delight a man), the third Ngai-loh (love joy). These three, at this time, advanced together,
1041. And addressed their father Pisuna and said: ’May we not know the trouble that afflicts you?’

3. His three sons, Confusion, Gaiety, and Pride, and his three daughters, Lust, Delight, and Thirst, asked of him the reason of his despondency, and he thus made answer unto them:

The father calming his feelings, addressed his daughters thus:
1042. ’The world has now a great Muni, he has taken a strong oath as a helmet, he holds a mighty bow in his hand, wisdom is the diamond shaft he uses,

4. ‘This sage, wearing the armour of resolution, and having drawn the arrow of wisdom with the barb of truth, sits yonder intending to conquer my realms,--hence is this despondency of my mind.

1043. ’His object is to get the mastery in the world, to ruin and destroy my territory (domain); I am myself unequal to him, for all men will believe in him,
1044. ’And all find refuge in the way of his salvation; then will my land be desert and unoccupied.

5. ‘If he succeeds in overcoming me and proclaims to the world the path of final bliss, all this my realm will to-day become empty, as did that of the disembodied lord when he violated the rules of his station.

But as when a man transgresses the laws of morality, his body (or, he himself) is then empty (i.e. unprotected),
1045. ’So now, the eye of wisdom, not yet opened (in this man), whilst my empire still has peace (quiet), I will go and overturn his purpose, and break down and divide the ridge-pole (of his house).’

6. ‘While, therefore, he stands within my reach and while his spiritual eyesight is not yet attained, I will assail him to break his vow as the swollen might of a river assails a dam.’

1046. Seizing then his bow and his five arrows, with all his retinue of male and female attendants, he went to that grove of ’fortunate rest’ with the vow that the world (all flesh) should not find peace.

7. Then having seized his flower-made bow and his five infatuating arrows, he drew near to the root of the Asvattha tree with his children, he the great disturber of the minds of living beings.

1047. Then seeing the Muni, quiet and still (silent), preparing to cross the sea of the three worlds, in his left hand grasping his bow, with his right hand pointing his arrow,

8. Having fixed his left hand on the end of the barb and playing with the arrow, Mâra thus addressed the calm seer as he sat on his seat, preparing to cross to the further side of the ocean of existence:

1048. He addressed Bodhisattva and said: ’Kshatriya! rise up quickly! for you may well fear! your death is at hand; you may practise your own religious system,

9. ‘Up, up, O thou Kshatriya, afraid of death! follow thine own duty and abandon this law of liberation! and having conquered the lower worlds by thy arrows [and sacrifices], proceed to gain the higher worlds of Indra.

1049. ’But let go this effort after the law of deliverance (for others); wage warfare in the field of charity as a cause of merit, appease the tumultuous world, and so in the end reach your reward in heaven;
1050. ’This is a way renowned and well established, in which former saints (victors) have walked, Rishis and kings and men of eminence; but this system of penury and alms-begging is unworthy of you.

10. ‘That is a glorious path to travel, which has been followed by former leaders of men; this mendicant life is ill-suited for one born in the noble family of a royal sage to follow.

1051. ’Now then if you rise not, you had best consider with yourself, that if you give not up your vow, and tempt me to let fly an arrow,

11. ‘But if thou wilt not rise, strong in thy purpose,--then be firm if thou wilt and quit not thy resolve,--this arrow is uplifted by me,--it is the very one which was shot against Sûryaka, the enemy of the fish.

1052. ’How that Aila, grandchild of Soma, by one of these arrows just touched, as by a fanning of the wind, lost his reason and became a madman;

12. ‘So too, I think, when somewhat probed by this weapon, even the son of Iḍâ, the grandson of the moon, became mad; and Sântanu also lost his self-control,--how much more then one of feebler powers now that the age has grown degenerate?

1053. ’And how the Rishi Vimala, practising austerities, hearing the sound of one of these darts, his heart possessed by great fear, bewildered and darkened he lost his true nature;

13. ‘Therefore quickly rise up and come to thyself - for this arrow is ready, darting out its tongue, which I do not launch even against the cakravâka birds, tenderly attached as they are and well deserving the name of lovers.’

1054. ’How much less can you--a late-born one--hope to escape this dart of mine. Quickly arise then! if hardly you may get away!

14. But when, even though thus addressed, the Sâkya saint unheeding did not change his posture, then Mâra discharged his arrow at him, setting in front of him his daughters and his sons.

1055. ’This arrow full of rankling poison, fearfully insidious where it strikes a foe! See now! with all my force, I point it! and are you resting in the face of such calamity?
1056. ’How is it that you fear not this dread arrow? say! why do you not tremble?’

15. But even when that arrow was shot he gave no heed and swerved not from his firmness; and Mâra, beholding him thus, sank down, and slowly thus spoke, full of thought:

śailendraputrīṃ prati yena viddho devo ’pi śaṃbhuś calito babhūva |

Mâra uttered such fear-inspiring threats, bent on overawing Bodhisattva.
1057. But Bodhisattva’s heart remained unmoved; no doubt, no fear was present.

16. ‘He does not even notice that arrow by which the god Sambhu was pierced with love for the daughter of the mountain and shaken in his vow; can he be destitute of all feeling? is not this that very arrow?

Then Mâra instantly discharged his arrow, whilst the three women came in front;
1058. Bodhisattva regarded not the arrow, nor considered ought the women three.
Mâra râga now was troubled much with doubt, and muttered thus ’twixt heart and mouth:
1059. ’Long since the maiden of the snowy mountains, shooting at Mahesvara, constrained him to change his mind; and yet Bodhisattva is unmoved,

17. ‘He is not worthy of my flower-shaft, nor my arrow "gladdener," nor the sending of my daughter Rati (to tempt him); he deserves the alarms and rebukes and blows from all the gathered hosts of the demons.’

1061. ’Now must I assemble my army-host, and press him sore by force;’
having thought thus awhile, Mâra’s army suddenly assembled round;
1062. Each (severally) assumed his own peculiar form; some were holding spears, others grasping swords, others snatching up trees, others wielding diamond maces; (thus were they) armed with every sort of weapon;

18. Then Mâra called to mind his own army, wishing to work the overthrow of the Sâkya saint; and his followers swarmed round, wearing different forms and carrying arrows, trees, darts, clubs, and swords in their hands;

19. Having the faces of boars, fishes, horses, asses, and camels, of tigers, bears, lions, and elephants,--one-eyed, many-faced, three-headed,--with protuberant bellies and speckled bellies;

1068. Some with leather skins for clothing, their faces party-coloured, crimson and white; some with tiger skins as robes, some with snake skins over them,
1069. Some with tinkling bells around their waists, others with twisted screw-like hair, others with hair dishevelled covering the body, some breath-suckers,

24. With dishevelled hair, or with topknots, or half-bald, with rope-garments or with head-dress all in confusion,--with triumphant faces or frowning faces,--wasting the strength or fascinating the mind.

1070. Others body-snatchers, some dancing and shrieking awhile, some jumping onwards with their feet together, some striking one another as they went,

25. Some as they went leaped about wildly, others danced upon one another, some sported about in the sky, others went along on the tops of the trees.

1071. Others waving (wheeling round) in the air, others flying and leaping between the trees, others howling, or hooting, or screaming, or whining, with their evil noises shaking the great earth;

26. One danced, shaking a trident, another made a crash, dragging a club, another bounded for joy like a bull, another blazed out flames from every hair.

1072. Thus this wicked goblin troop encircled on its four sides the Bodhi tree; some bent on tearing his body to pieces, others on devouring it whole;

27. Such were the troops of demons who encircled the root of the Bodhi tree on every side, eager to seize it and to destroy it, awaiting the command of their lord.

1073. From the four sides flames belched forth, and fiery steam ascended up to heaven; tempestuous winds arose on every side; the mountain forests shook and quaked;

28. Beholding in the first half of the night that battle of Mâra and the bull of the Sâkya race, the heavens did not shine and the earth shook and the (ten) regions of space flashed flame and roared.

1074. Wind, fire, and steam, with dust combined, (produced) a pitchy darkness, rendering all invisible. And now the Devas well affected to the law, and all the Nâgas and the spirits (kwei-shin),
1075. All incensed at this host of Mâra, with anger fired, wept tears of blood;

29. A wind of intense violence blew in all directions, the stars did not shine, the moon gave no light, and a deeper darkness of night spread around, and all the oceans were agitated.

30. The mountain deities and the Nâgas who honoured the Law, indignant at the attack on the saint, rolling their eyes in anger against Mâra, heaved deep sighs and opened their mouths wide.

the great company of Suddhavâsa gods, beholding Mâra tempting Bodhisattva,
1076. Free from low-feeling, with hearts undisturbed by passion, moved by pity towards him and commiseration,

31. But the god-sages, the Suddhâdhivâsas, being as it were absorbed in the perfect accomplishment of the good Law, felt only a pity for Mâra in their minds and through their absolute passionlessness were unruffled by anger.

came in a body to behold the Bodhisattva, so calmly seated and so undisturbed,
1077. Surrounded with an uncounted host of devils, shaking the heaven and earth with sounds ill-omened.

32. When they saw the foot of the Bodhi tree crowded with that host of Mâra, intent on doing harm,--the sky was filled with the cry raised by all the virtuous beings who desired the world’s liberation.

Bodhisattva silent and quiet in the midst remained, his countenance as bright as heretofore, unchanged;
1078. Like the great lion-king placed amongst all the beasts howling and growling round him (so he sat),

33. But the great sage having beheld that army of Mâra thus engaged in an attack on the knower of the Law, remained untroubled and suffered no perturbation, like a lion seated in the midst of oxen.

a sight unseen before, so strange and wonderful!
1079. The host of Mâra hastening, as arranged, each one exerting his utmost force,

34. Then Mâra commanded his excited army of demons to terrify him; and forthwith that host resolved to break down his determination with their various powers.

taking each other’s place in turns, threatening every moment to destroy him,
1080. Fiercely staring, grinning with their teeth, flying tumultuously, bounding here and there;

35. Some with many tongues hanging out and shaking, with sharp-pointed savage teeth and eyes like the disk of the sun, with wide-yawning mouths and upright ears like spikes,--they stood round trying to frighten him.

but Bodhisattva, silently beholding them, (watched them) as one would watch the games of children;
1081. And now the demon host waxed fiercer and more angry, and added force to force,

36. Before these monsters standing there, so dreadful in form and disposition, the great sage remained unalarmed and untroubled, sporting with them as if they had been only rude children.

37. Then one of them, with his eyes rolling wildly, lifted up a club against him; but his arm with the club was instantly paralysed, as was Indra’s of old with its thunderbolt.

in further conflict; grasping at stones they could not lift, or lifting them, they could not let them go;
1082. Their flying spears, lances, and javelins, stuck fast in space, refusing to descend;

38. Some, having lifted up stones and trees, found themselves unable to throw them against the sage; down they fell, with their trees and their stones, like the roots of the Vindhya shattered by the thunderbolt.

39. Others, leaping up into the sky, flung rocks, trees, and axes; these remained in the sky and did not fall down, like the many-coloured rays of the evening clouds.

40. Another hurled upon him a mass of blazing straw as big as a mountain-peak, which, as soon as it was thrown, while it hung poised in the sky, was shattered into a hundred fragments by the sage’s power.

41. One, rising up like the sun in full splendour, rained down from the sky a great shower of live embers, as at the end of an aeon blazing Meru showers down the pulverised scoriae of the golden valleys.

42. But that shower of embers full of sparks, when scattered at the foot of the Bodhi tree, became a shower of red lotus-petals through the operation of the great saint’s boundless charity.

43. But with all these various scorching assaults on his body and his mind, and all these missiles showered down upon him, the Sâkya saint did not in the least degree move from his posture, clasping firmly his resolution as a kinsman.

44. Then others spat out serpents from their mouths as from old decayed trunks of trees; but, as if held fast by a charm, near him they neither breathed nor discharged venom nor moved.

the angry thunder-drops and mighty hail, with these, were changed into five-colour’d lotus flowers,
1083. Whilst the foul poison of the dragon snakes was turned to spicy-breathing air.

45. Others, having become great clouds, emitting lightning and uttering the fierce roar of thunderbolts, poured a shower of stones upon that tree,--but it turned to a pleasant shower of flowers.

46. Another set an arrow in his bow,--there it gleamed but it did not issue forth, like the anger which falls slack in the soul of an ill-tempered impotent man.

47. But five arrows shot by another stood motionless and fell not, through the saint’s ruling guidance,--like the five senses of him who is well experienced in the course of worldly objects and is afraid of embodied existence.

Thus all these countless sorts of creatures, wishing to destroy the Bodhisattva,
1084. Unable to remove him from the spot, were with their own weapons wounded.

48. Another, full of anger, rushed towards the great saint, having seized a club with a desire to smite him; but he fell powerless without finding an opportunity, like mankind in the presence of faults which cause failure.

Now Mâra had an aunt-attendant whose name was Ma-kia-ka-li (Mâha Kâlî?),
1085. Who held a skull-dish in her hands, and stood in front of Bodhisattva, and with every kind of winsome gesture, tempted to lust the Bodhisattva.

49. But a woman named Meghakâlî, bearing a skull in her hand, in order to infatuate the mind of the sage, flitted about unsettled and stayed not in one spot, like the mind of the fickle student over the sacred texts.

1086. So all these followers of Mâra, possessed of every demon-body form, united in discordant uproar, hoping to terrify Bodhisattva;
1087. But not a hair of his was moved, and Mâra’s host was filled with sorrow.

50. Another, fixing a kindling eye, wished to burn him with the fire of his glance like a poisonous serpent; but he saw the sage and lo! he was not there, like the votary of pleasure when true happiness is pointed out to him.

51. Another, lifting up a heavy rock, wearied himself to no purpose, having his efforts baffled, like one who wishes to obtain by bodily fatigue that condition of supreme happiness which is only to be reached by meditation and knowledge.

52. Others, wearing the forms of hyenas and lions, uttered loudly fierce howls, which caused all beings round to quail with terror, as thinking that the heavens were smitten with a thunderbolt and were bursting.

53. Deer and elephants uttering cries of pain ran about or lay down,--in that night as if it were day screaming birds flew around disturbed in all directions.

54. But amidst all these various sounds which they made, although all living creatures were shaken, the saint trembled not nor quailed, like Garuḍa at the noise of crows.

55. The less the saint feared the frightful hosts of that multitude, the more did Mâra, the enemy of the righteous, continue his attacks in grief and anger.

Then in the air the crowd of angels (spirits), their forms invisible, raised their voices, saying:
1088. ’Behold the great Muni; his mind unmoved by any feeling of resentment, whilst all that wicked Mâra race, besotted, are vainly bent on his destruction;

56. Then some being of invisible shape, but of pre-eminent glory, standing in the heavens,--beholding Mâra thus malevolent against the seer,--addressed him in a loud voice, unruffled by enmity:

moghaṃ śramaṃ nārhasi māra kartuṃ hiṃsrātmatām utsṛja gaccha śarma |

1089. ’Let go your foul and murderous thoughts against that silent Muni, calmly seated! You cannot with a breath move the Sumeru mountain;

57. ‘Take not on thyself, O Mâra, this vain fatigue,--throw aside thy malevolence and retire to peace; this sage cannot be shaken by thee any more than the mighty mountain Meru by the wind.

1090. ’Fire may freeze, water may burn, the roughened earth may grow soft and pliant, but ye cannot hurt the Bodhisattva! Thro’ ages past disciplined by suffering,

58. ‘Even fire might lose its hot nature, water its fluidity, earth its steadiness, but never will he abandon his resolution, who has acquired his merit by a long course of actions through unnumbered aeons.

1091. Bodhisattva rightly trained in thought, ever advancing in the use of "means," pure and illustrious for wisdom, loving and merciful to all,
1092. ’These four conspicuous (excellent) virtues cannot with him be rent asunder, so as to make it hard or doubtful whether he gain the highest wisdom.
1093. ’For as the thousand rays of yonder sun must drown the darkness of the world,

59. ‘Such is that purpose of his, that heroic effort, that glorious strength, that compassion for all beings,--until he attains the highest wisdom, he will never rise from his seat, just as the sun does not rise, without dispelling the darkness.

or as the boring wood must kindle fire, or as the earth deep-dug gives water,
1094. ’So he who perseveres in the "right means," by seeking thus, will find.

60. ‘One who rubs the two pieces of wood obtains the fire, one who digs the earth finds at last the water,--and to him in his perseverance there is nothing unattainable,--all things to him are reasonable and possible.

The world without instruction, poisoned by lust and hate and ignorance,
1095. ’Because he pitied "flesh," so circumstanced, he sought on their account the joy of wisdom. Why then would you molest and hinder one who seeks to banish sorrow from the world?

61. ‘Pitying the world lying distressed amidst diseases and passions, he, the great physician, ought not to be hindered, who undergoes all his labours for the sake of the remedy knowledge.

1096. ’The ignorance that everywhere prevails is due to false pernicious books (sûtras), and therefore Bodhisattva, walking uprightly, would lead and draw men after him.
1097. ’To obscure and blind the great world-leader, this undertaking is impossible, for ’tis as though in the Great Desert a man would purposely mislead the merchant-guide;

62. ‘He who toilsomely pursues the one good path, when all the world is carried away in devious tracks,--he the guide should not be disturbed, like a right informant when the caravan has lost its way.

1098. ’So "all flesh" having fallen into darkness, ignorant of where they are going, for their sakes he would light the lamp of wisdom; say then! why would you extinguish it?

63. ‘He who is made a lamp of knowledge when all beings are lost in the great darkness,--it is not for a right-minded soul to try to quench him,--like a lamp kindled in the gloom of night.

1099. ’All flesh engulphed and overwhelmed in the great sea of birth and death, this one prepares the boat of wisdom; say then! why destroy and sink it?

64. ‘He who, when he beholds the world drowned in the great flood of existence and unable to reach the further shore, strives to bring them safely across,--would any right-minded soul offer him wrong?

1100. ’Patience is the sprouting of religion, firmness its root, good conduct is the flower, the enlightened heart the boughs and branches,
1101. ’Wisdom supreme the entire tree, the "transcendent law" the fruit, its shade protects all living things; say then! why would you cut it down?

65. ‘The tree of knowledge, whose roots go deep in firmness, and whose fibres are patience,--whose flowers are moral actions and whose branches are memory and thought,--and which gives out the law as its fruit,--surely when it is growing it should not be cut down.

1102. ’Lust, hate, and ignorance, (these are) the rack and bolt, the yoke placed on the shoulder of the world; through ages long he has practised austerities to rescue men from these their fetters,
1103. ’He now shall certainly attain his end, sitting on this right-established throne;

66. ‘Him whose one desire is to deliver mankind bound in soul by the fast snares of illusion,--thy wish to overthrow him is not worthy, wearied as he is for the sake of unloosing the bonds of the world.

67. ‘To-day is the appointed period of all those actions which have been performed by him for the sake of knowledge,--he is now seated on this seat just as all the previous saints have sat.

(seated) as all the previous Buddhas, firm and compact like a diamond;
1104. ’Though all the earth were moved and shaken, yet would this place be fixed and stable; him, thus fixed and well assured, think not that you can overturn.

68. ‘This is the navel of the earth’s surface, endued with all the highest glory; there is no other spot of the earth than this,--the home of contemplation, the realm of well-being.

1105. ’Bring down and moderate your mind’s desire, banish these high and envious thoughts, prepare yourselves for right reflection, be patient in your services.’

69. ‘Give not way, then, to grief but put on calm; let not thy greatness, O Mâra, be mixed with pride; it is not well to be confident,--fortune is unstable,--why dost thou accept a position on a tottering base?’

1106. Mâra hearing these sounds in space, and seeing Bodhisattva still unmoved, filled with fear and banishing his high and supercilious thoughts, again took up his way to heaven above;

70. Having listened to his words, and having seen the unshaken firmness of the great saint, Mâra departed dispirited and broken in purpose with those very arrows by which, O world, thou art smitten in thy heart.

1107. Whilst all his host (were scattered), o’erwhelmed with grief and disappointment, fallen from their high estate, ’reft of their warrior pride, their warlike weapons and accoutrements thrown heedlessly and cast away ’mid woods and deserts.
1108. Like as when some cruel chieftain slain, the hateful band is all dispersed and scattered,

71. With their triumph at an end, their labour all fruitless, and all their stones, straw, and trees thrown away, that host of his fled in all directions, like some hostile army when its camp has been destroyed by the enemy.

so the host of Mâra disconcerted, fled away. The mind of Bodhisattva (now reposed) peaceful and quiet.
1109. The morning sun-beams brighten with the dawn, the dust-like mist dispersing, disappears;

72. When the flower-armed god thus fled away vanquished with his hostile forces and the passionless sage remained victorious, having conquered all the power of darkness, the heavens shone out with the moon like a maiden with a smile, and a sweet-smelling shower of flowers fell down wet with dew.

[tathāpi pāpīyasi nirjite gate diśaḥ praseduḥ prababhau niśākaraḥ |

the moon and stars pale their faint light, the barriers of the night are all removed,
1110. Whilst from above a fall of heavenly flowers pay their sweet tribute to the Bodhisattva.

73. When the wicked one thus fled vanquished, the different regions of the sky grew clear, the moon shone forth, showers of flowers fell down from the sky upon the earth, and the night gleamed out like a spotless maiden.
