智度論云。梵語魔羅。秦言奪命（論云。唯死魔實能奪命。餘者能為奪命因。亦能奪智惠命故。瑜珈論云。由蘊魔遍一切隨逐義。天魔障礙義。死魔。煩惱魔。能與死生眾生。作苦器故）○魔逆經云。大光夫人白文殊言。其魔事住於何處。文殊言住於精進。又問何故住於精進。文殊言其精進者。乃為魔求其便。若懈怠者。彼當奈何（因明勤懈乃述魔住）○瑜珈論云。魔事者。若於利養。恭敬。稱譽。心樂趣入。或放逸。慳悋。廣大希欲。不知喜足。忿恨。惱覆。矯詐等。皆是魔事。

The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa states: 'The Sanskrit word is Māra; in the language of Qin it is rendered "taker of life"' (the treatise says: 'Only the Māra of death can truly take life; the others can serve as causes for taking life, and can also take the life of wisdom. The Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra says: "Due to the aggregates-māra having the meaning of pervading and following all; the divine māra having the meaning of obstruction; and the death-māra and affliction-māra being able to serve as vessels of suffering for beings undergoing death and birth"'). The Mo ni jing says: 'Lady Daguang said to Mañjuśrī: "Where do the works of Māra reside?" Mañjuśrī said: "They reside in vigor." She asked again: "Why do they reside in vigor?" Mañjuśrī said: "Against one who is vigorous, Māra seeks an opening. If one is lazy, what would he need to do?"' (Because diligence and laziness were clarified, the residence of Māra is thus related). The Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra states: 'Regarding the works of Māra: if one's mind delights in pursuing profit, respect, and praise; or heedlessness, stinginess, vast desires, lack of contentment, anger, resentful concealment, deceit, and so forth—all these are the works of Māra.'
