Mara didn't visit the Buddha during the seven days under the bodhi tree, rather, before the seven days. Mara is cognate out word "murder" as Jesus specifically calls Satan a "murderer". The earliest attestation of the rope mistaken for a snake motif is attributed to Sextus although it probably was first used by Nagarjuna's disciple Aryadeva

now you mention it, no i dont. Awesome thumb nail btw

[@alexwelts2553]

I'm still not sure what a thumb nail is. I see opinions on it, very often tbh. I imagine there being a visibility to our own fingernails somehow. Just sharing this here, instead of going through the usual process of contemplation and inspection.
