Upacālāsutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Sagāthāvaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 15 · Section 544

[544] [Upacālā:] "The devas of Tāvatiṃsa and of Yāma, and the devatās of Tusita, the devas who delight in creation (Nimmānarati), and those devas who wield control (Vasavatti) — still bound by the bond of sensuality (kāmabandhana), they come again under Māra's sway. All the world is ablaze; all the world is smoldering; all the world is blazing up; all the world is shaken. That which is unshaken, unwavering, not frequented by worldlings (puthujjana), where there is no access for Māra — there my mind delights." Then Māra the Evil One, [realizing] "The bhikkhunī Upacālā knows me," sad and dejected, disappeared right there. The Sīsupacālā Sutta, the Eighth.
