Theory of Sets, chapter III, § 3. Equipotent sets. Cardinals

Let a\mathfrak{a} and b\mathfrak{b} be cardinals and let I be a set such that Card (I)=b\mathrm{Card}\ (I) = \mathfrak{b}. If aι=a\mathfrak{a}_{\iota} = \mathfrak{a} for all ι∈I\iota \in I, we have ab=Pι∈Iaι\mathfrak{a}^{\mathfrak{b}} = \mathbf{P}_{\iota \in I} \mathfrak{a}_{\iota}.

This follows from the definition of the product of a family of sets as a set of functional graphs (Chapter II, § 5, no. 3).

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
