In Khmer art, this attitude of Buddha is called preah pud (buddha) p'chanh mea which means the sacred buddha defeating the enemy (māra). The attitude refers to the episode that he was reaching the enlightenment and being disturbed by maras. Learning that the maras asked him to give up, he touched the ground and called the Phra Mae Thorani to help him fight with the maras. Thoranee called tonnes of water and flooded away the maras. The episode results in the name Mara Vichai which means the "Victory (vichai) over the Mara". Other Thai names are Chana Mara (ชนะมาร; victory over the Mara) and Sadoung Mara (สะดุ้งมาร; striking fear into the Mara) The Maravijaya seated Buddha is considered the most-built attitude for principle Buddha in ubosots of Burmese, Khmer, Lao and Thai Wats.
