“Mendicants, a mendicant with three qualities has slipped free of Māra’s dominion and dazzles like the sun. What three? It’s when they have the entire spectrum of the adept’s ethics, immersion, and wisdom. A mendicant with these three qualities has slipped free of Māra’s dominion and dazzles like the sun.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:
