Kumārīpañhā untranslated

Kumārīpañhā. Evidently the name given to the questions asked of the Buddha by Māra’s daughters, Taṇhā, Aratī and Ragā – when they visited him in order to tempt him – and the Buddha’s answers.

These questions and answers form the Dhītaro Sutta of the Saṁyuttanikāya (SN.i.124f), but a quotation from them given in the Aṅguttara (AN.v.46f) is mentioned as having been taken from the Kumārīpañhā.

The Commentary (AN­a.ii.828) mentions them as being the questions of Māra’s daughters (kumārīnaṁ Māradhītānaṁ pucchā).
