What is ten Mara?
Can you provide a source reference?
Especially I like to know the meaning of "Arati" and "Makubhawa"

This question is based on the following video. (In the Sinhalese language)
I tried to list the ten Mara as follows. But I am looking for a reference.

1) Kama (sensual pleasures)
2) Arathi
3)Hunger and thurst
4Pariyesana (Experimentation)
5)Thina Middha (sloth)
6)Fear
7)Vicikicca (doubt)
8)Makubhawa (Arogance?)
9)Labhasatkara (honours)
10) Mana

There's " The 10 Armies of Mara"

1. Sensual pleasures

2. Discontent

3. Hunger and thirst

4. Craving

5. Sloth and torpor

6. Fear

7. Doubt

8. Conceit and ingratitude

9. Gain, renown, and honor, falsely received

10. Self-exaltation and disparaging others

(from Sutta Nipata 3.2)

Thanks Aloka.
Now we should examine in detail the meaning of Arati and Makubawa.

This forum is in the English language and I assume uses standard Romanised Pali. When are you going to stop posting Romanised versions of Sri Lankan words? There is no Makubawa in the Pali suttas.

Hi DD
I just posted the information in my hand.
If you know the Pali equivalent please post it.
I would have posted this thread without giving you any hints If I wanted.
I am trying my best to get the best answer.
Perhaps this comes under 10 Mara.

Sorry but no. I will not post it. You made a post recently where you did not even spell "dhamma" correctly, three times. It is part of the practice of sila to not cause trouble for others.

Why?
Do you keep "Guru Mushti' (fist hand?)?

Sorry but I think you are being lazy.

I never said that I have developed Iddhipada like you.
Energy (viriya, S. vīrya)

Makubhawa (Arogance?)

Perhaps this is the overestimation of your attainments.
Thinking that you are Sotapanna etc.

Sorry, keep you awake Aloka.
I believe this is a very important topic.
