Evidently the name given to the questions asked of the Buddha by Mára's daughters, Tanhá, Arati and Ragá - when they visited him in order to tempt him - and the Buddha's answers.

 

These questions and answers form the Dhítaro Sutta of the Samyutta Nikáya (S.i.124f), but a quotation from them given in the Anguttara (A.v.46f) is mentioned as having been taken from the Kumárípañhá.

 

The Commentary (AA.ii.828) mentions them as being the questions of Mára's daughters (kumárínam Máradhítánam pucchá).
