Visuddhimagga IX-51

Sabbā itthiyo averā…pe… attānaṃ pariharantu, sabbe purisā, sabbe ariyā, sabbe anariyā, sabbe devā, sabbe manussā, sabbe vinipātikā averā…pe… pariharantūti imehi sattahākārehi odhisopharaṇā mettā cetovimutti veditabbā.

（2）「（一）愿一切女人无怨（无憎无恼）而自有乐，（二）愿一切男子，（三）一切圣者，（四）一切非圣者，（五）一切天，（六）一切人，（七）一切堕（恶道）者无怨（无憎无恼而自有乐）」，当知这是「以七种行相有限制的遍满慈心而解脱」。

Ñ(IX,51): The mind-deliverance of lovingkindness is [practised] with specified pervasion in these seven ways: 'May all women be free from enmity, affliction and anxiety and live happily. May all men … all noble ones … all not noble ones … all deities … all human beings … all in states of loss be free from enmity, affliction and anxiety, and live happily' (Ps.ii,131).
