Saṁyutta Nikāya — Discursos Conectados — 37.5 — Irritable

1Then Venerable Anuruddha went up to the Buddha, sat down to one side, and said to him:

2“Sometimes, sir, with my clairvoyance that is purified and superhuman, I see that a female—when her body breaks up, after death—is reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell. How many qualities do ladies have so that they’re reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell?”

3“Anuruddha, when ladies have five qualities, when their body breaks up, after death, they are reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell. What five?

4They’re faithless, shameless, imprudent, irritable, and witless.

5When ladies possess these five qualities, when their body breaks up, after death, they are reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell.”
