At thirty, he realized the Way and was named Śākyamuni (Brahmajāla). Once he had realized the Way, Brahmā exhorted and beseeched him: 'We pray only that the Tathāgata will widely open the amṛta and preach the unsurpassed Dharma for sentient beings' (Nirvāṇa Sūtra). The Prince reflected: 'I have now practiced tapas for nearly six full years. I must take food and only then realize the Way.' At that time, the cowherd girl Nandā took milk, boiled congee, and offered it to the Bodhisattva. Having eaten his fill to his heart's content, he proceeded to the foot of the bodhi tree. Śakra Devānām Indra transformed into an ordinary man and offered kuśa grass. Spreading it out to make a seat, \[the Bodhisattva\] sat cross-legged and made a vow to himself: 'If I do not attain sambodhi, I will not rise from this seat' (Sūtra of Cause and Effect; Lalitavistara. 'Nandā' translates as Joy, a woman's name. 'Śakra Devānām Indra' translates as Powerful Lord of Devas, that is, the Lord Śakra of the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven. 'Bodhi tree' translates as the tree of the Way; under this tree the Buddha sat and realized the Way). Subduing the Heavenly Māra (Avataṃsaka, 'Chapter on Leaving the World': 'Or he is seen dwelling in Tuṣita Heaven, entering the womb, emerging from the womb, leaving the household, realizing the Way, subduing Māra, turning the wheel of the Dharma, and entering nirvāṇa.' This is the text on subduing Māra in the Mahāyāna). At that time, the palace of the demon king shook spontaneously. The demon king Pāpīyas was terrified and assembled a vast army. Brandishing halberds and wielding swords, glaring and gnashing their teeth, they flew horizontally and threw \[weapons\] in confusion. The Bodhisattva viewed it like children's play. Pāpīyas said to the Bodhisattva: 'If you do not leave quickly, I will cast you into the ocean.' The Bodhisattva said: 'If you are first able to move this washing-pitcher, then you may cast me into the ocean.' Pāpīyas was unable to move it, and his army was routed and scattered. Pāpīyas's eldest son, Sārthavāha, bowed down in repentance: 'My father lacked wisdom and offended the Great Sage. May he receive your pardon' (The three sūtras: Cause and Effect, Saṃyuktaratnapiṭaka, and Lalitavistara. 'Māra' translates as 'one who takes life'. 'Pāpīyas' is the name of the demon king, translating here as 'extremely evil'). Having subdued Māra, he emitted a great radiance and forthwith entered samādhi, contemplating paramārtha-satya. He knew fully the good and evil deeds committed in the past, the lengths of life, and that all sentient beings transmigrating through the five destinies lack true reality (Sūtra of Cause and Effect). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 34.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.34.27) - [Next: 34.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.34.29) - [Up: 34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.34) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.34.28) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.34.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.34.28) · Pramāṇa
