Jittananto’s description above is correct.

  • However, it is possible that Mara Devaputta just wanted to tease the bhikkhuni or tried to see whether he could tempt her.
  • Mara Devaputta lives in the highest Deva realm. He could have sex with unimaginably beautiful female Devas in that realm. There was no need for him to have sex with a human.

P.S. The statement, ” Hattakha Brahma is superior to Lord Buddha in the sense that he does not have a dense body and is not subject to illness and physical pain” is not appropriate, even though it is true that Brhamas don’t feel physical pain. No one is superior to the Buddha.
