M.N. 1/3 mūlapariyāyasutta translation

Most of devaputtamāra appear in tipitaka. Even commentary explained just a little bit as "'pajāpatiṃ' (in mūlapariyāyasutta) means māro. One explained 'pajāpatiṃ means mahārājā, the leader of each deva group, but the great commentary already denied that explanation because mahārājā already included in 'deve' word, above. So māro means pajāpati in this sutta by leading of lives, pajā. Where is him? He is in the sixth heaven realm. Actually, there is vasavattirājā on that realm. One explained 'māro is the leader of his people in a part of that realm like a crown prince in colony'".
