Kumārīpañhā

Person

마라의 딸들인 탄하, 아라티, 라가가 부처님께 던진 질문과 그 답변에 붙여진 이름으로, 디타로 경에 해당한다.

Evidently the name given to the questions asked of the Buddha by Māra’s daughters, Taṇhā, Arati, and Ragā — when they visited him in order to tempt him — and the Buddha’s answers.

These questions and answers form the Dhītaro Sutta of the Saṃyuttanikāya (S.i.124 f), but a quotation from them given in the Aṅguttaranikāya (A.v.46 f) is mentioned as having been taken from the Kumārīpañhā.

The Commentary (AA.ii.828) mentions them as being the questions of Māra’s daughters (kumārīnaṃ Māradhītānaṃ pucchā).
