This is a short reading in SL from The Blessed Ones battle with Mara (The Devil), I am reading here about the times where Mara appeared in front of The Blessed One trying to hinder him in becoming enlightened as The Buddha. 
First we hear, that Mara told The Buddha to live in the world and then later, Mara told The Buddha to leave the world (before The Blessed Ones Teachings had been taught, shared and spread far and wide). 
The Buddha defeats Mara with The Ten Perfections also known in Pali (language of The Buddha) as 

The Pāramitās:

Dāna pāramī : generosity, giving of oneself
Sīla pāramī : virtue, morality, proper conduct
Nekkhamma pāramī : renunciation
