Then Mara the Evil One, wanting to arouse fear, horripilation, & terror in her, wanting to make her fall away from concentration, approached her & addressed her in verse:

By whom     was this doll created?
Where     is the doll's maker?
Where     has the doll originated?
Where     does it cease?

Then, having understood that "This is Mara the Evil One," she replied to him in verses:

This doll isn't self-made,
nor is this misery made by another.[1]
In dependence on a cause
    it comes into play.
With the dissolution of the cause
    it ceases.
Just as a seed grows
    -- when planted in a field --
because of the soil's savor
    together with moisture;
in the same way, these
    aggregates,
    properties,
    sense media
-- in dependence on a cause --
    come into play.
With the dissolution of the cause
    they cease.

Note

1. Alternative reading:

This doll, this misery,
    isn't created.
