1. iti yaṃ taṃ vuttaṃ idametaṃ paṭicca vuttaṃ: The text continues describing how a noble disciple, devoid of all these three roots of impurities dwells permeating the world in all directions with goodwill and compassion, undefiled and pure: ariyasāvako evaṃ vigatābhijjho vigatabyāpādo asammūḷho sampajāno patissato mettāsahagatena cetasā ekaṃ disaṃ pharitvā viharati, tathā dutiyaṃ, tathā tatiyaṃ, tathā catutthaṃ, iti uddhamadho tiriyaṃ sabbadhi sabbattatāya sabbāvantaṃ lokaṃ mettāsahagatena cetasā vipulena mahaggatena appamāṇena averena abyāpajjhena pharitvā viharati (see 4.3.). Performing his daily duties in this benevolent way he lives assured in fourfold ways: that, whether there may be a world beyond or not, he will either reappear in a good destiny or be well at ease considering his life without any remorse; and that if there will be a result deriving from unwholesome action he will be free from suffering derived theroff, if there will be no result he will again live at ease anyway.
