Part A (Interleaved Text)

1.1 Siddhartha Siddhartha sapiens wise sub under arbore tree Bodhi Bodhi sedēbat was sitting oculīs with eyes clausīs closed meditāns meditating dē about vīta life et and dolōre suffering

1.2 Subitō suddenly Māra Mara princeps prince daemonum of demons cum with exercitū army magnō great advēnit arrived ut in order that Siddhartham Siddhartha ā from viā way illūminātiōnis of enlightenment āverteret he might turn away

1.3 Māra Mara voce with voice blandā smooth dīxit said ō O Siddhartha Siddhartha cūr why sōlus alone sedēs do you sit cum when vōluptātēs pleasures mundī of world tē you exspectant await

1.4 Siddhartha Siddhartha oculōs eyes lentē slowly aperuit opened et and respondit replied vōluptātēs pleasures quidem indeed dulcēs sweet vidēntur seem sed but semper always in into dolōrem pain mūtantur they are changed

1.5 Māra Mara daemonibus to demons fōrmōsīs beautiful imperavit ordered ut that ante before Siddhartham Siddhartha saltārent they might dance et and illecebras attractions corporis of body monstrārent they might show

1.6 Illī they vestēs clothes splendidās splendid gerēbant were wearing et and māgicīs with magical cantibus songs Siddhartham Siddhartha incantāre to enchant temptābant were trying

1.7 Siddhartha Siddhartha autem however immōtus unmoved manēbat remained et and dīxit said pulchritūdō beauty vestra your sicut like flōs flower est is quī which manē in morning flōret blooms et and vesperī in evening marcēscit withers

1.8 Māra Mara īrātus angry nunc now aliam another formam form temptātiōnis of temptation excōgitāvit devised et and daemonēs demons terribilēs terrible vocāvit called

1.9 Māra Mara clāmāvit shouted ecce behold Siddhartha Siddhartha regēs kings potentēs powerful tē you quaerunt seek exercitūs armies magnī great contrā against tē you veniunt come ut so that tē you perdant they might destroy

1.10 Siddhartha Siddhartha placidē calmly respondit replied quī he who metum fear vīcerit will have conquered nūllum no hostem enemy timet fears corpus body meum my laedere to harm potestis you are able mentem mind autem however numquam never

1.11 Tum then Māra Mara sagittās arrows ignītās fiery et and saxa rocks ingentia huge in against Siddhartham Siddhartha conicit hurls quae which tamen however in into flōrēs flowers transformāta transformed sunt were

1.12 Siddhartha Siddhartha manū with hand terram earth tetigit touched dīcēns saying terra earth ipsa itself testis witness mea my est is mē me vēritātem truth quaesīvisse to have sought et and invēnisse to have found

1.13 Māra Mara ultimus last cōnātus attempt fēcit made et and dīxit said multī many sapientēs wise men ante before tē you quaesīvērunt sought sed but nihil nothing invēnērunt they found cūr why tū you inveniēs will find

1.14 Siddhartha Siddhartha respondit replied quia because nōn not sapiēntiam wisdom librōrum of books quaerō I seek sed but vēritātem truth experientiae of experience meae my in in corde heart ipsō itself

1.15 Māra Mara tunc then quaesīvit asked quis who testābitur will testify tē you viam way illūminātiōnis of enlightenment invēnisse to have found nēmō no one hīc here est is praeter except mē me

1.16 Siddhartha Siddhartha iterum again terram earth tetigit touched et and dīxit said terra earth māter mother omnium of all testis witness mea my est is et and mē me cognōscit knows

1.17 Subitō suddenly lūx light magna great ē from corpore body Siddharthae of Siddhartha radiāre to radiate coepit began et and terra earth leviter gently tremuit trembled vocē with voice profundā deep respondens responding

1.18 Daemonēs demons omnēs all terrōre with terror captī seized fugiēbant were fleeing et and Māra Mara victus conquered trīstis sad discēssit departed

1.19 Siddhartha Siddhartha autem however immōtus unmoved sub under arbore tree manēbat remained nunc now plēnē fully illūminātus enlightened et and Buddha Buddha factus made est is

1.20 Sēptem seven diēs days sub under arbore tree Bodhi Bodhi sedēbat he sat contemplāns contemplating vēritātem truth quam which invēnerat he had found et and viam way quam which hominibus to men mōnstrātūrus about to show erat he was

1.1 Siddhartha sapiens sub arbore Bodhi sedēbat oculīs clausīs meditāns dē vīta et dolōre.

1.2 Subitō Māra princeps daemonum cum exercitū magnō advēnit ut Siddhartham ā viā illūminātiōnis āverteret.

1.3 Māra voce blandā dīxit: "Ō Siddhartha, cūr sōlus sedēs cum vōluptātēs mundī tē exspectant?"

1.4 Siddhartha oculōs lentē aperuit et respondit: "Vōluptātēs quidem dulcēs vidēntur, sed semper in dolōrem mūtantur."

1.5 Māra daemonibus fōrmōsīs imperavit ut ante Siddhartham saltārent et illecebras corporis monstrārent.

1.6 Illī vestēs splendidās gerēbant et māgicīs cantibus Siddhartham incantāre temptābant.

1.7 Siddhartha autem immōtus manēbat et dīxit: "Pulchritūdō vestra sicut flōs est quī manē flōret et vesperī marcēscit."

1.8 Māra īrātus nunc aliam formam temptātiōnis excōgitāvit et daemonēs terribilēs vocāvit.

1.9 Māra clāmāvit: "Ecce, Siddhartha! Regēs potentēs tē quaerunt, exercitūs magnī contrā tē veniunt ut tē perdant!"

1.10 Siddhartha placidē respondit: "Quī metum vīcerit nūllum hostem timet. Corpus meum laedere potestis, mentem autem numquam."

1.11 Tum Māra sagittās ignītās et saxa ingentia in Siddhartham conicit, quae tamen in flōrēs transformāta sunt.

1.12 Siddhartha manū terram tetigit dīcēns: "Terra ipsa testis mea est, mē vēritātem quaesīvisse et invēnisse."

1.13 Māra ultimus cōnātus fēcit et dīxit: "Multī sapientēs ante tē quaesīvērunt sed nihil invēnērunt. Cūr tū inveniēs?"

1.14 Siddhartha respondit: "Quia nōn sapiēntiam librōrum quaerō, sed vēritātem experientiae meae in corde ipsō."

1.15 Māra tunc quaesīvit: "Quis testābitur tē viam illūminātiōnis invēnisse? Nēmō hīc est praeter mē."

1.16 Siddhartha iterum terram tetigit et dīxit: "Terra, māter omnium, testis mea est et mē cognōscit."

1.17 Subitō lūx magna ē corpore Siddharthae radiāre coepit et terra leviter tremuit, vocē profundā respondens.

1.18 Daemonēs omnēs terrōre captī fugiēbant et Māra victus trīstis discēssit.

1.19 Siddhartha autem immōtus sub arbore manēbat, nunc plēnē illūminātus et Buddha factus est.

1.20 Sēptem diēs sub arbore Bodhi sedēbat contemplāns vēritātem quam invēnerat et viam quam hominibus mōnstrātūrus erat.
