Then a mendicant went up to the Buddha … and asked him,
“sādhu me, bhante, bhagavā saṅkhittena dhammaṁ desetu …pe… ātāpī pahitatto vihareyyan”ti.
“Sir, may the Buddha please teach me Dhamma in brief. When I’ve heard it, I’ll live alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute.”
“Maññamāno kho, bhikkhu, baddho mārassa;
“When you conceive, mendicant, you’re bound by Māra.
amaññamāno mutto pāpimato”ti.
Not conceiving, you’re free from the Wicked One.”
“Aññātaṁ, bhagavā, aññātaṁ, sugatā”ti.
“Understood, Blessed One! Understood, Holy One!”
“Yathā kathaṁ pana tvaṁ, bhikkhu, mayā saṅkhittena bhāsitassa vitthārena atthaṁ ājānāsī”ti?
