8.64
爾時,五百梵志弟子皆端心正意,聽佛所說。時,魔波旬作此念言:「此五百梵志弟子端心正意,從佛聽法,我今寧可往壞其意。」爾時,惡魔即以己力壞亂其意。爾時,世尊告散陀那曰:「此五百梵志子端心正意,從我聽法,天魔波旬壞亂其意,今吾欲還,汝可俱去。」爾時,世尊以右手接散陀那居士置掌中,乘虛而歸。
The wanderer’s 500 disciples then rectified their hearts and corrected their thinking as they listened to what the Buddha taught. Māra the Evil One then thought, “These 500 disciples of the wanderer have rectified their hearts and corrected their thinking as they listened to what the Buddha taught. I better go destroy that thinking now!”
Evil Māra then confounded their thinking with his own power.
The Bhagavān then told Sandhāna, “These 500 disciples of the wanderer had rectified their hearts and corrected their thinking as they listened to what I taught, but Māra the Evil One has confounded their thinking. Now, I’d like to go. Let’s you and I leave together.”
The Bhagavān then offered his right hand to the householder Sandhāna, who took it in his palm, and they flew back through the sky.
