[27]
May I have loving-kindness (mettā) toward the Virūpakkhas;
may I have loving-kindness toward the Erāpathas;
may I have loving-kindness toward the Chabyāputtas;
and loving-kindness toward the Kaṇhāgotamakas.
May I have loving-kindness toward footless creatures;
may I have loving-kindness toward two-footed creatures;
may I have loving-kindness toward four-footed creatures;
may I have loving-kindness toward many-footed creatures.
May no footless creature harm me;
may no two-footed creature harm me;
may no four-footed creature harm me;
may no many-footed creature harm me.
May all beings, all breathing things,
and all creatures without exception,
all behold good fortune;
may no evil whatsoever come to any.
Measureless is the Buddha, measureless is the Dhamma, measureless is the Saṅgha; measured are creeping things—snakes, scorpions, centipedes, spiders, lizards, and mice. A protection has been made by me; a safeguard (paritta) has been made by me. Let the creatures withdraw. I pay homage to the Blessed One; homage to the seven Perfectly Enlightened Ones.
