“Mendicants, there are these five drawbacks of a black snake. “Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā kaṇhasappe. What five? Katame pañca? It’s filthy, stinking, cowardly, frightening, and treacherous. Asuci, duggandho, sabhīru, sappaṭibhayo, mittadubbhī. These are the five dangers of a black snake. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā kaṇhasappe.

In the same way there are five drawbacks of a lady. Evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcime ādīnavā mātugāme. What five? Katame pañca? She’s filthy, stinking, cowardly, frightening, and treacherous. Asuci, duggandho, sabhīru, sappaṭibhayo, mittadubbhī. These are the five drawbacks of a lady.” Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā mātugāme”ti.
