thig.3.8 Therigatha

Somā

“That state’s very challenging;
it’s for the sages to attain.
It’s not possible for a woman,
with her two-fingered wisdom.”
“What difference does womanhood make
when the mind is serene,
and knowledge is present
as you rightly discern the Dhamma.
Relishing is destroyed in every respect,
and the mass of darkness is shattered.
So know this, Wicked One:
you’re beaten, terminator!”
The Book of the Threes is finished.
