Pali and Sanskrit Sources

↑TOP
As far as early Buddhist texts are concerned, the Pali Canon only mentions the episode of Mara's Temptation. Mara's Assault, on the other hand, appears in the canons of several Buddhist schools and is recorded in scriptures such as the Mahavastu and the Lalitavistara, as well as in Sanskrit literature in verse form, such as the Nidanakatha (Jatakattakkatha?) and the Buddhacarita. The various texts agree on the central theme of the episode: Mara realizes that the end of his realm is approaching, shares his concern with his son, launches the attack and is defeated. Desperate, he summons his daughters to seduce Siddhartha, but in the end all attempts to hinder Siddhartha's enlightenment fail. There are several variations concerning other parts of the story, such as the preamble, the role of the sons, the number of assaults, the circumstances of the defeat and the exact sequence of events. There is also no standardized account of Siddhartha citing the Earth Goddess (prthivi-devata; Ch. dishen 地神 or ditian 地天) as witness for the merits of his former deeds and the victory over Mara. In some versions, the episode is immediately followed by the attempted seduction of the daughters.

In this introduction, the focus will be on a selection of Chinese sources.
