25: Women
488. Yā cīdha Mātā bhaginī sakhī ca,
Dāsī ca bhar i yā ti ca sā pavuccati,
Sīle ṭhitā nācirarattasaṁvutā,
Kāyassa bhedā Sugatiṁ vajanti tā.
Now she who is called a Mother, sister,
A friendly, or a handmaidenly wife,
Virtuous, steady, restrained in actions,
At death will go to the Celestial Realms.
