Nandatisutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Sagāthāvaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 15 · Section 439

[439] "One who has sons sorrows because of sons; just so one who has cattle sorrows because of cattle. A person's sorrows come from acquisitions (upadhi); for he who is without acquisitions does not sorrow." Then Māra the Evil One (pāpimā), realizing "The Blessed One knows me! The Fortunate One (sugata) knows me!" — miserable and dejected, vanished right there. #1 M. (Burmese edition): "gomā gobhi." The Ninth: the Paṭhama-āyu Sutta (First Discourse on Life Span).
