Khuddakapāṭha 9
(Minor Texts)

Metta Sutta
(Unlimited Friendliness)

7. Mātā yathā niyaṁ puttam
Just as a mother at the risk of life

Āyusā ekaputtamanurakkhe;
loves and protects her child, her only child,

Evampi sabbabhūtesu,
so too for all beings

Mānasaṁ bhāvaye aparimāṇaṁ.
(One should) unfold a boundless heart.
