“पञ्चिमानि, भिक्खवे, मातुगामस्स बलानि। कतमानि पञ्च? रूपबलं, भोगबलं, ञातिबलं, पुत्तबलं, सीलबलं।
“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, mātugāmassa balāni. Katamāni pañca? Rūpabalaṁ, bhogabalaṁ, ñātibalaṁ, puttabalaṁ, sīlabalaṁ.
“Bhikkhus, there are these five powers of a female. What five? Attractiveness, wealth, relatives, children, and ethical behavior.
न, भिक्खवे, मातुगामो रूपबलहेतु वा भोगबलहेतु वा ञातिबलहेतु वा पुत्तबलहेतु वा कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपज्जति। सीलबलहेतु खो, भिक्खवे, मातुगामो कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपज्जति।
Na, bhikkhave, mātugāmo rūpabalahetu vā bhogabalahetu vā ñātibalahetu vā puttabalahetu vā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjati. Sīlabalahetu kho, bhikkhave, mātugāmo kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjati.
It is not because of the powers of attractiveness, wealth, relatives, or children that females, when their body breaks up, after death, are reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm. It is because of the power of ethical behavior that females, when their body breaks up, after death, are reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.
इमानि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च मातुगामस्स बलानी”ति।
Imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañca mātugāmassa balānī”ti.
These are the five powers of a female.”
