The Second Discourse to Visākhā
47.
On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Sāvatthī in the Eastern Park, in Migāramātā's mansion.
Then Visākhā, Migāra's mother, etc.
To Visākhā, Migāra's mother, seated to one side, the Blessed One said this:
"Possessed of eight qualities, Visākhā, a woman, upon the body's collapse at death, is reborn in the company of the Manāpakāyika gods. Which eight? Here, Visākhā, a woman to whom her mother and father give a husband, desiring her welfare, seeking her benefit, compassionate, out of compassion - for him she is one who rises early, one who retires late, one who is willing to do what is asked, one who conducts herself agreeably, one who speaks pleasantly, etc.
"And she is generous. She dwells at home with a mind free from the stain of stinginess, generous in giving, with purified hands, delighting in relinquishment, accessible to requests, delighting in giving and sharing. Possessed of these eight qualities, Visākhā, a woman, upon the body's collapse at death, is reborn in the company of the Manāpakāyika gods."
That man who gives all desires, her husband - she does not despise.
And all those venerable to her husband, the wise woman honours.
She behaves agreeably to her husband, she guards what has been brought.
The Agreeable gods are those, where she is reborn." The seventh.
