3.67
[Seng]zhao says: 'All Māras' refers to the four māras. Together they form a band of companions in the toil of defilements. [Dao]sheng says: Giving that can produce a result is called karma. If one gives rise to heterodoxy with respect to karma, causing one to receive retribution in the three realms, it creates toilsome suffering for sentient beings. Thus false view and karma become companions, and afterward one obtains retribution in the three realms. As this karma constitutes toil, it is the same as what is done by Māra; hence it says 'join hands'. In conforming [to the real], once right view is attained, it is not different from being companions in the toil wrought by Māra.
