Akkodhanasutta

Loving

Atha kho āyasmā anuruddho yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā …pe… ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā anuruddho bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Then Venerable Anuruddha went up to the Buddha … and asked him,

“idhāhaṁ, bhante, mātugāmaṁ passāmi dibbena cakkhunā visuddhena atikkantamānusakena kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjantaṁ.
“Sometimes, sir, with my clairvoyance that’s purified and superhuman, I see that a female—when her body breaks up, after death—is reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.

Katīhi nu kho, bhante, dhammehi samannāgato mātugāmo kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjatī”ti?
How many qualities do females have so that they’re reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm?”

“Pañcahi kho, anuruddha, dhammehi samannāgato mātugāmo kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjati.
“Anuruddha, when females have five qualities, when their body breaks up, after death, they are reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.

Katamehi pañcahi?
What five?

Saddho ca hoti, hirimā ca hoti, ottappī ca hoti, akkodhano ca hoti, paññavā ca hoti—
They’re faithful, conscientious, prudent, loving, and wise.

imehi kho, anuruddha, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato mātugāmo kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjatī”ti.
When females have these five qualities, when their body breaks up, after death, they are reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.”

Paṭhamaṁ.
