What could be the purpose of the Buddha teaching AN 2.61 below? Why is this relevant? How is this useful?
AN 2.61 states:
> “Mendicants, females die without getting enough of two things.
> *“Dvinnaṃ dhammānaṃ, bhikkhave, atitto appaṭivāno mātugāmo kālaṃ
> karoti.*
>
> What two?
> *Katamesaṃ dvinnaṃ?*
>
> Sexual intercourse and giving birth.
> *Methunasamāpattiyā ca vijāyanassa ca.*
>
> Females die without getting enough of these two things.”
> *Imesaṃ kho, bhikkhave, dvinnaṃ dhammānaṃ atitto appaṭivāno mātugāmo kālaṃ
> karotī”ti.*
