Bhagavad Gita 9.32

मां हि पार्थ व्यपाश्रित्य येऽपि स्युः पापयोनयः।स्त्रियो वैश्यास्तथा शूद्रास्तेऽपि यान्ति परां गतिम्॥

māṃ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye'pi syuḥ pāpayonayaḥ |striyo vaiśyāstathā śūdrāste'pi yānti parāṃ gatim ||

For, taking refuge in Me, they who, O Arjuna, may be of a sinful birth—women, Vaisyas, and Sudras—attain the Supreme Goal.

Even the children of sinful parents, those miscalled the weaker sex, merchants, and laborers, if they make Me their refuge, they shall attain the highest.

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
