1“Mendicants, a female noble disciple who grows in five ways grows nobly, taking on what is essential and excellent in this life. What five? She grows in faith, ethics, learning, generosity, and wisdom. A female noble disciple who grows in these five ways grows nobly, taking on what is essential and excellent in this life.

2When she grows in faith and ethics,
wisdom, and both generosity and learning—
a virtuous laywoman such as she
takes on what is essential for herself in this life.”

Saddhāya vaḍḍhati, sīlena vaḍḍhati, sutena vaḍḍhati, cāgena vaḍḍhati, paññāya vaḍḍhati – imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi vaḍḍhīhi vaḍḍhamānā ariyasāvikā ariyāya vaḍḍhiyā vaḍḍhati, sārādāyinī ca hoti, varādāyinī ca kāyassāti.

2Saddhāya sīlena ca yādha vaḍḍhati,
Paññāya cāgena sutena cūbhayaṁ;
Sā tādisī sīlavatī upāsikā,
Ādīyati sāramidheva attano"ti.

Dasamaṁ.
Balavaggo tatiyo.

Visāradā pasayha abhibhuyya,
Ekaṁ aṅgena pañcamaṁ;
Nāsenti hetu ṭhānañca,
Visārado vaḍḍhinā dasāti

Mātugāmasaṁyuttaṁ samattaṁ.
