[134] **He, having routed the army amid all dhammas — whatever is seen, heard, or sensed:** "Army" means the army of Māra. Bodily misconduct is Māra's army; verbal misconduct is Māra's army; mental misconduct is Māra's army; lust (rāga) is Māra's army; hatred is Māra's army; delusion is Māra's army; anger, grudging … all unwholesome volitional formations (abhisaṅkhārā) are Māra's army. For this was said by the Blessed One:
Sensual pleasures (kāmā) are your first army;
the second is called discontent;
your third is hunger and thirst;
the fourth is called craving (taṇhā);
your fifth is dullness and drowsiness;
the sixth is called cowardice;
your seventh is doubt;
denigration and obstinacy are your eighth;
gain, renown, honor,
and whatever fame is wrongly obtained;
and whoever exalts himself
and despises others —
this, Namuci, is your army,
the strike force of the Dark One.
No coward conquers it,
but having conquered it, one gains happiness.
When, by the four noble paths, the whole army of Māra and all the defilements that raise opposing forces have been conquered and defeated, broken, scattered, and turned to flight, he is called "one who has routed the army." He has routed the army with regard to the seen; he has routed the army with regard to the heard; he has routed the army with regard to the sensed; he has routed the army with regard to the cognized. Therefore: he, having routed the army amid all dhammas — whatever is seen, heard, or sensed.
