²³ See s.v. Gotama. It is true that in the Mahāsaccaka Sutta (M. i. 240 ff.), which contains an account of the events leading up to the Enlightenment, there is no mention whatsoever of any temptation by Māra, nor is there any mention of the Bodhi-tree. But to argue from this, that such events did not form part of the original story, might be to draw unwarranted inferences from an argumentum e silentio.
