2.1.9 Mettasutta

“Mā, bhikkhave, puññānaṃ bhāyittha. Sukhassetaṃ, bhikkhave, adhivacanaṃ yadidaṃ puññāni. Abhijānāmi kho panāhaṃ, bhikkhave, dīgharattaṃ katānaṃ puññānaṃ dīgharattaṃ iṭṭhaṃ kantaṃ manāpaṃ vipākaṃ paccanubhūtaṃ. Satta vassāni mettacittaṃ bhāvesiṃ. Satta vassāni mettacittaṃ bhāvetvā satta saṃvaṭṭavivaṭṭakappe nayimaṃ lokaṃ punāgamāsiṃ. Saṃvaṭṭamāne sudāhaṃ, bhikkhave, loke ābhassarūpago homi, vivaṭṭamāne loke suññaṃ brahmavimānaṃ upapajjāmi.

Tatra sudaṃ, bhikkhave, brahmā homi mahābrahmā abhibhū anabhibhūto aññadatthudaso vasavattī. Chattiṃsakkhattuṃ kho panāhaṃ, bhikkhave, sakko ahosiṃ devānamindo; anekasatakkhattuṃ rājā ahosiṃ cakkavattī dhammiko dhammarājā cāturanto vijitāvī janapadatthāvariyappatto sattaratanasamannāgato. Tassa mayhaṃ, bhikkhave, imāni satta ratanāni ahesuṃ, seyyathidaṃ—  cakkaratanaṃ, hatthiratanaṃ, assaratanaṃ, maṇiratanaṃ, itthiratanaṃ, gahapatiratanaṃ, pariṇāyakaratanameva sattamaṃ. Parosahassaṃ kho pana me, bhikkhave, puttā ahesuṃ sūrā vīraṅgarūpā parasenappamaddanā. So imaṃ pathaviṃ sāgarapariyantaṃ adaṇḍena asatthena dhammena abhivijiya ajjhāvasinti.

Passa puññānaṃ vipākaṃ,
Kusalānaṃ sukhesino;
Mettaṃ cittaṃ vibhāvetvā,
Satta vassāni bhikkhavo;
Sattasaṃvaṭṭavivaṭṭakappe,
Nayimaṃ lokaṃ punāgamiṃ.

Saṃvaṭṭamāne lokamhi,
homi ābhassarūpago;
Vivaṭṭamāne lokasmiṃ,
suññabrahmūpago ahuṃ.

Sattakkhattuṃ mahābrahmā,
vasavattī tadā ahuṃ;
Chattiṃsakkhattuṃ devindo,
devarajjamakārayiṃ.

Cakkavattī ahuṃ rājā,
jambumaṇḍassa issaro;
Muddhāvasitto khattiyo,
manussādhipatī ahuṃ.

Adaṇḍena asatthena,
vijeyya pathaviṃ imaṃ;
Asāhasena kammena,
samena manusāsi taṃ.

Dhammena rajjaṃ kāretvā,
asmiṃ pathavimaṇḍale;
Mahaddhane mahābhoge,
aḍḍhe ajāyihaṃ kule.
