魔波旬(具足梵云稱嚩摩羅波裨旬稱嚩云天摩羅云障礙波裨旬云罪惡謂此類報生天宮惟勸人造惡令退善根不令生離欲界也)。

Māra Pāpīyas (In full, the Sanskrit is called Śavramāra-pāpīyas. Śavra means "heaven", māra means "obstacle", and pāpīyas means "sin and evil". It means that beings of this class are reborn in heavenly palaces only to urge people to commit evil, causing them to retrogress from wholesome roots so that they are not allowed to be born free from the desire realm).
