MÄradhammasutta Subject to MÄra
SÄvatthinidÄnaį¹. At SÄvatthÄ«.
Ekamantaį¹ nisinno kho ÄyasmÄ rÄdho bhagavantaį¹ etadavoca: Seated to one side, Venerable RÄdha said to the Buddha:
āāmÄradhammo, mÄradhammoāti, bhante, vuccati. āSir, they speak of āMÄra natureā. āMÄra natureā is mÄradhamma, glossed by the commentary as āliable to dieā (maraį¹adhamma). In this Saį¹yutta, the suffix -dhamma, which normally creates an adjective of the sense āliable toā, is construed as a noun.
Katamo nu kho, bhante, mÄradhammoāti? What is of MÄra nature?ā
