Ainda assim, Gautama mantém-se inalterado.

As a last resort, the temptress challenged his right to be doing what he was doing. Siddhartha then tapped the earth,<ref>with the “earth-touching mudra”—left hand upturned in lap, right hand pointed downward, touching earth.</ref> and the earth thundered her answer: “I bear you witness!” All the hosts of the Lord and the elemental beings responded and acclaimed his right to pursue the enlightenment of the Buddha—whereupon Mara fled.  
Como último recurso, o demônio contesta o direito que Gautama
teria de agir daquela maneira. Sidarta, então, toca a terra com o mudra
no qual a mão esquerda se mantém apoiada no colo, com palma voltada
para cima, enquanto a direita aponta para baixo, tocando a terra. E esta
em resposta, brada: “Sou tua testemunha!” E todas as hostes do Senhor
e seres elementais responderam e aclamaram o direito que Gautama
tinha de buscar a iluminação do Buda. Diante disso, Mara desaparece.  


Having defeated Mara, Gautama spent the rest of the night in deep meditation under the tree, recalling his former embodiments, attaining the “superhuman divine eye” (the ability to see the passing away and rebirth of beings), and realizing the Four Noble Truths. In his own recorded words: “Ignorance was dispelled, knowledge arose. Darkness was dispelled, light arose.”<ref>Edward J. Thomas, ''The Life of Buddha as Legend and History'' (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1927), pp. 66-68, quoted in Clarence H. Hamilton, ed., ''Buddhism: A Religion of Infinite Compassion'' (New York: The Liberal Arts Press, 1952), pp. 22–23.</ref>
