sukhitattā!
(May all beings) be happy and secure, may all beings in their hearts
be happy!

whether they be long or great, of middle (size), short, tiny, or of
compact (body),
05. diṭṭhā vā yeva adiṭṭhā, ye va dūre vasanti avidūre,
those who are seen, and those who are unseen, those who live far
away, those who are near,

sukhitattā!
those who are born, and those who still seek birth: May all beings in
their hearts be happy!

he should not long for suffering for another because of anger or
resentment.

thought (of friendliness).

vitamiddho,
Standing, walking, sitting, lying, for as long as he is without torpor,
etaṁ satiṁ adhiṭṭheyya, brahma’metaṁ
vihāra’midhamāhu.
he should be resolved on this mindfulness, for this, they say here, is
the (true) spiritual life.
10. Diṭṭhiñca anupaggamma, sīlavā dassanena sampanno,
Without going near a (wrong) view, virtuous, and endowed with
(true) insight,
kāmesu vineyya gedhaṁ, na hi jātu’ggabbhaseyya
puna reti.

lie in a womb again.
