Mara [fr. mr, later Vedic, mara killing, destroying,
bringing death, pestilence, cp. Lat. mors death, morbus
illness. Lith. maras death, pestilence] death ; usually
personified as Np. Death, the Evil one, the Tempter
(the Buddhist Devil or Principle of Destruction).
Sometimes the term mara is applied to the whole of the
worldly existence, or the realm of rebirth, as opposed
to Nibbana. Thus the def° of m. at Nd- 506 gives
" kammabhisankhara-vasena patisandhiko khandhamaro.

usual standing epithet is papima " the evil one," e. g.
