Aṅguttara Nikāya - The Numerical Discourses

1: The Book of the Ones

1. Obsession of the Mind - 6

1 [n.21] Mp: "It is not only men who esteem the five sense objects but women too. therefore the next five suttas are formulated with women as the subject." "Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other form that so obsesses the mind of a woman as the form of a man. The form of a man obsesses the mind of a woman."

1"Nāhaṁ, bhikkhave, aññaṁ ekarūpampi samanupassāmi yaṁ evaṁ itthiyā cittaṁ pariyādāya tiṭṭhati yathayidaṁ, bhikkhave, purisarūpaṁ. Purisarūpaṁ, bhikkhave, itthiyā cittaṁ pariyādāya tiṭṭhatī"ti.


Chaṭṭhaṁ.
