2.3

佛告父王：「云何名菩薩降魔時白毫相光？魔王波旬遙以天眼觀閻浮提，見釋迦子棄國如唾，坐道樹下肌骨枯槁，形體羸瘠如久病人；唯有金色光明益顯，其眼陷黑如井底星，骨節相跓失蟠龍文。波旬喜曰：『瞿曇體羸骨如腐草，雖有光色餘命無幾，曼道未成，宜往敗之。』瞋目大怒勅諸夜叉速集軍眾：『吾今欲行下閻浮提往征瞿曇。』

The Buddha said to his father the king: "What is called the light of the mark of the Bodhisattva's white curl at the time of subduing Māra? Māra Pāpīyān observed Jambudvīpa from afar with his divine eye and saw the son of the Śākyas cast off his kingdom like spittle, sitting beneath the Tree of the Way with his flesh and bones withered and dry, his body emaciated like that of a chronically sick man; only his golden light became ever more radiant, his eyes sunken and dark like stars at the bottom of a well, his joints protruding against each other, losing their coiled-dragon lines. Pāpīyān rejoiced, saying: 'Gautama's body is emaciated and his bones are like rotting grass; though he has light and color, little of his life remains. While the Way is not yet accomplished, I should go and destroy him.' Blazing with wrath, he ordered the yakṣas to assemble the army swiftly: 'I now intend to descend to Jambudvīpa to campaign against Gautama.'"
