Dasa Mara Piritha Pdf Downloadbfdcm Apr 2026

The Dasa Mara Piritha is a lesser-known but powerful paritta (protective chant) in Theravada Buddhism. It focuses on the “Ten Armies of Mara” (the evil one or tempter). The verses are drawn from the Padhana Sutta (Sutta Nipata), where the Buddha describes the ten forces (lust, discontent, hunger, craving, sloth, fear, doubt, hypocrisy, gaining/glory, and praising self/insulting others) that Mara uses to obstruct spiritual progress.
