What then is the subjugation of the works of Māra? That by means of which none of Māra can find a weak point in the Bodhisattva. [...] (19) being angry about immoral beings (duḥśīla) is the work of Māra; (20) not respecting (agauravatā) one who maintains the morality is the work of Māra; (21) conformity to the training of disciples is the work of Māra; (22) conformity to the way of isolated Buddhas is the work of Māra; [...]”.
