Vers 8.
008.
Just as a storm cannot prevail against a rocky mountain, so Mara can never overpower the man who lives meditating on the impurities, who is controlled in his senses, moderate in eating, and filled with faith and earnest effort.

Verse 7.
007.
Just as a storm throws down a weak tree, so does Mara overpower the man who lives for the pursuit of pleasures, who is uncontrolled in his senses, immoderate in eating, indolent, and dissipated.

subhanupassim viharantam indriyesu asamvutam bhojanamhi amattannum kusitam hinaviriyam tam ve pasahati maro vato rukkham’va dubbalam

Verse 2.
002. Mind is the forerunner of (all good) states.
Mind is chief, and they are mind-made.
If one speaks or acts with a pure mind, happiness follows as one’s own shadow that never leaves.
