[497] Then Māra the Evil One (Māra pāpimā) approached the Blessed One; and having approached, he addressed the Blessed One in verse:     "Sunk in sorrow, do you meditate in the forest?     Have you lost wealth, or are you longing for it?     Have you committed some crime in the village?     Why do you not make friendship with people?     Does friendship not succeed for you with anyone?"
