the five ps for a woman as defined in an ancient subhashitam
पुत्रसूः पाककुशला पवित्रा च पतिर्व्रता।
पद्माक्षी पञ्चपैर्नारी भुवि संयाति गौरवम्॥
putrasūḥ pākakuśalā pavitrā ca patirvratā|
padmākṣī pañcapairnārī bhuvi saṁyāti gauravam||
These five "Pa" s make a women respected and cynosure of the eyes of the world.
Putrasoo… The one who gives birth to a son, a child
Paaka kushalaa.. The one who has consummate culinary skills
Pavitraa.. The one who is basically flawless and pure by nature
Pativrataa.. The one who is devoted to her life partner
Padmaakshee.. The one who is having beautiful eyes resembling the petals of a lotus.
Note.. Just quoting an old Subhaashitam.. found in the Subhaashita Ratna Bhandagaram... No comparison between genders or gender bias ever intended.
