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.*
