Idhalokika Sutta

Two suttas preached by the Buddha to Visākhā at the Migāramātupāsāda.

To achieve victory in this world a woman should have four qualities: she should efficiently discharge her duties as housewife, should win the esteem of her servants and the affection of her husband and should look after his wealth. For victory in the next world, she should be possessed of faith, virtue, generosity and wisdom. A.iv.269ff.
