Can someone help find above mentioned sutta IF there is one?
Itâs the name of one sutta and an alternative name for another.
Nicchavitthisutta
(referred to in the uddÄna as the Nicchavitthi aticÄrinÄĢ)

Thank you bhante. I saw a sinhala translation of this and thought it was not very accurate and wanted to double check. I think it is quite important to translate with right words that will not mislead people (especially from my culture) to further put women down.
According to A.P. Soyza the reasons for a woman to be born in hell are:
āˇāˇâāļģāļ¯āˇāļ°āˇ āļąāˇāļāˇāļāˇāļēāļāˇ āˇāˇāļ¯,(faithless) āļŊāļĸāˇāļĸāˇ āļąāˇāļāˇāļāˇāļēāļāˇ āˇāˇāļ¯,(shameless/someone who doesnât care of what society thinks) āļˇāļē āļąāˇāļāˇāļāˇāļēāļāˇ āˇāˇāļ¯,(fearless) āˇāˇāˇāˇāļ¸āˇāļēāˇ āļāļāˇāļ¸āˇāˇ āˇāˇāˇāˇāļģāˇāļąāˇāļąāˇāļēāļāˇ āˇāˇāļ¯, (one who goes above the husband)āļąāˇāˇāļĢāˇāļāˇāļāˇāļēāļāˇ āˇāˇāļ¯(intelligent woman)
I am hoping someone who has a contemporary sinhala knowledge will volunteer to translate suttas for Sutta Central.

It would seem there are only 5 criteria for going to a hellish realm: Katamehi paÃącahi? Assaddho ca hoti, ahiriko ca hoti, anottappÄĢ ca hoti, aticÄrÄĢ ca hoti, duppaÃąÃąo ca hotiâimehi kho, anuruddha, paÃącahi dhammehi. I would consider taking on a project of this scale, but have constraints on duration of time needed.

That would be great! Even if you take 10 years it will be worth it! 
I would like to help in whatever way I can.

Thanks for that. The first step, having established the shortcomings in SC versions, would be to see if the current Mahamewna version is good enough?!
