So when he reached the town's gate, he walked slowly adjusting his mien to the rules of discipline. As he went begging for food, he came to a house of prostitution where Mataiga, (a low caste woman) succeeded, by means of Kapila magic, in drawing him close to her sensual body on the mat, so that he was on the point of breaking the rules of pure living.
But the Buddha was aware of all this and, after the royal feast, He returned to the vihara with the king, princes and elders who wished to hear about the essentials of the Dharma.

The Buddha then repeated the transcendental mantra and ordered Manjushri to use it to overcome the magic and to bring Ananda with Mataiga to the vihara. ~ Shurangama sutra
