1At Sāvatthī.

Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘Māra-like nature’. What is a Māra-like nature?”

“Rādha, form has a Māra-like nature. Feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness have a Māra-like nature.

Seeing this … They understand: ‘… there is no return to any state of existence.’”

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā rādho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

"‘māradhammo, māradhammo’ti, bhante, vuccati. Katamo nu kho, bhante, māradhammo"ti?

"Rūpaṁ kho, rādha, māradhammo, vedanā māradhammo, saññā māradhammo, saṅkhārā māradhammo, viññāṇaṁ māradhammo.

Evaṁ passaṁ … pe … nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī"ti.

Dutiyaṁ.
