Black Snakes (1st)
“पञ्चिमे, भिक्खवे, आदीनवा कण्हसप्पे। कतमे पञ्च? असुचि, दुग्गन्धो, सभीरु, सप्पटिभयो, मित्तदुब्भी। इमे खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च आदीनवा कण्हसप्पे।
“Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā kaṇhasappe. Katame pañca? Asuci, duggandho, sabhīru, sappaṭibhayo, mittadubbhī. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā kaṇhasappe.
“Bhikkhus, there are these five drawbacks of a black snake. What five? It’s filthy, stinking, cowardly, frightening, and treacherous. These are the five dangers of a black snake.
एवमेवं खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चिमे आदीनवा मातुगामे। कतमे पञ्च? असुचि, दुग्गन्धो, सभीरु, सप्पटिभयो, मित्तदुब्भी। इमे खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च आदीनवा मातुगामे”ति।
Evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcime ādīnavā mātugāme. Katame pañca? Asuci, duggandho, sabhīru, sappaṭibhayo, mittadubbhī. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā mātugāme”ti.
In the same way there are five drawbacks of a female. What five? She’s filthy, stinking, cowardly, frightening, and treacherous. These are the five drawbacks of a female.”
