Mâra endeavours by seductive speeches to turn him from the path of holiness; mention is also made of temptresses, who, when the tempter has given up all for lost, renew the fight; the daughters of Mâra, named Desire, Unrest, and Pleasure. Buddha remains unmoved in his peaceful quietude. - [Previous: c8.40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.oldenberg-1882.c8.40) - [Next: c8.42](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.oldenberg-1882.c8.42) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.oldenberg-1882.c8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.oldenberg-1882.c8.41](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.oldenberg-1882.c8.41) · Pramāṇa
