Soon after the Buddha’s Enlightenment, Māra approached him while he was staying at the foot of the goatherd’s banyan tree at Uruvela on the banks of the river Nerañjarā, and tried to frighten him by creating manifold forms both beautiful and ugly. The Buddha told Māra in verse that had followed him for a long time, but was now defeated as those who are well-controlled in body, speech, and thought do not come under Māra’s control. Then Māra disappeared. S.i.104.
