-I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying among the <span anchor #kosala>Kosalans</span> in a wilderness hut in a <span anchor #himalayas>Himalayan</span> district. Then, as he was alone in seclusion, this train of thought arose in his awareness: "Is it possible to exercise rulership without killing or causing others to kill, without confiscating or causing others to confiscate, without sorrowing or causing others sorrow — righteously?" 
- 
-<span anchor #mara>Then</span> Mara, the Evil One, knowing with his awareness the train of thought in the Blessed One's awareness, went to him and on arrival said to him: "Exercise rulership, Blessed One! Exercise rulership, O One Well-gone! — without killing or causing others to kill, without confiscating or causing others to confiscate, without sorrowing or causing others sorrow — righteously!" 
- 
-"But what do you see in me, Evil One, that you say to me, 'Exercise rulership, Blessed One! Exercise rulership, O One Well-gone! — without killing or causing others to kill, without confiscating or causing others to confiscate, without sorrowing or causing others sorrow — righteously!'?" 
- 
-"Lord, the Blessed One has developed the four bases of power, pursued them, handed them the reins and taken them as a basis, given them a grounding, steadied them, consolidated them, and undertaken them well. If he wanted to, he could resolve on the Himalayas, king of mountains, as gold, and it would become a mountain of gold."

- 
-<span anchor #gold>The</span> entirety 
-of a mountain of gold, 
-of solid bullion: 
-even twice that 
-wouldn't suffice 
-for one person. 
- Knowing this,

- 
-When you see stress, 
-and from where it comes, 
-how can you incline

-Knowing acquisition

- train for 
- its subduing.

- 
-Then Mara the Evil One — sad & dejected at realizing, "The Blessed One knows me; the One Well-gone knows me" — vanished right there.
