The ''Dhammapada'' records the words of Mara, as she assailed Gautama: “Lean, suffering, ill-favored man, Live! Death is your neighbor. Death has a thousand hands, you have only two. Live!

Mara investia contra ele, usando primeiro o desejo, fazendo desfilar
à sua frente deusas e dançarinas voluptuosas. Em seguida, usando a
