3 - Cittavagga, The Mind
6 - Pancasatabhikkhu Vatthu
Kumbhupamam kayamimam viditva, nagarupam cittamidam thapetva;40: Knowing that this body is (fragile) like an earthern jar, making one's mind secure like a fortified town, one should fight Mara with the weapon of Knowledge. (After defeating Mara) one should still continue to guard one's mind, and feel no attachment to that which has been gained (i.e., jhana ecstasy and serenity gained through meditation).
yodhetha maram panna vudhena, jitanca rakkhe anivesano siya.
