Mitta Sutta

Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna

"Who is the friend of this earth? Who is the friend in one's own house?

Who is the friend for birth in right view? Who is friend hereafter?"

"A strong man is the friend of earth. Mother is friend in one's own house.

For birth in right view, it's a friend who helps again and again.

Merits, done will be the friend hereafter."
