大唐西域記 8.64

8.64

菩提樹垣東門側有窣堵波，魔王怖菩薩之處。初，魔王知菩薩將成正覺也，誘亂不遂，憂惶無賴，集諸神眾，齊整魔軍，治兵振旅，將脅菩薩。於是風雨飄注，雷電晦冥，縱火飛煙，揚沙激石，備矛楯之具，極弦矢之用。菩薩於是入大慈定，凡厥兵杖變為蓮華。魔軍怖駭，奔馳退散。其側不遠有二窣堵波，帝釋、梵王之所建也。

By the side of the eastern gate of the wall of the Bodhi tree is a stupa. This is where Mara-raja tried to frighten Bodhisattva. When first Mara-raja knew that Bodhisattva was about to obtain perfect enlightenment, having failed to confuse him by his enticements or to terrify him by his arts, he summoned his host of spirits and arranged his demon army, and arrayed his soldiers, armed with their weapons, as if to destroy the Bodhisattva. On this the winds arose and the rains descended, the thunders rolled in space and the lightning gleamed, as it lit up the darkness; flames of fire and clouds of smoke burst forth; sand and hailstones fell like lances, and were as arrows flying from the bow. Whereupon the Bodhisattva entered the samādhi of "great love," and changed the weapons of the host to lotus flowers. Māra's army, smitten by fear, retreated fast and disappeared. Not far from this are two stūpas built by Śakra, king of Devas, and by Brahma-rāja.
