19.28
爾時,魔王見諸大眾在世尊所,懷毒害心,即自念言:「我當將諸鬼兵往壞彼眾,圍遶盡取,不令有遺。」時,即召四兵,以手拍車,聲如霹靂,諸有見者無不驚怖,放大風雨、雷電、霹靂,向迦維林圍繞大眾。
King Māra saw the great congregation around the Bhagavān and had a cruel thought. He thought to himself, “I’ll lead an army of demons to go and destroy that entire congregation. I won’t let any of them escape!”
He then commanded his fourfold army to beat their chariots with their hands, which sounded like crashing thunder. None who saw them weren’t frightened by it. He sent a great storm of wind, rain, lightning, and thunder at that great congregation that surrounded Kapila Grove.
