6.56

"Then [he] said ... down to ... sweeping and sprinkling" is, fourth, explaining that the māra furthermore offered women. Transforming his body into Śakra had already disrupted his mind of dhyāna; furthermore offering women produced additional disturbance. First manifesting the body of Śakra, the soft thief gained entry; now offering women to make him go against his principles, the strong thief entered as well. With these two thieves' disturbing intentions, Jagatīṃdhara was unaware, which means he had already been ruined by the māra.
