Metta, other than metta sutta

[Pasanna]

We’ve actually had many conversations around this topic before;

Metta in Earliest Texts?

So I didn’t want to derail this thread, so I thought I’d ask, a follow up question to this: Kay: Is the Metta Sutta not among the earliest strata of texts then? Are there any EBTs which mention or are about metta, that are among the earliest strata of texts?

Mother and child simile, "mātā yathā niyaṃputta, māyusā ekaputtamanurakkhe"

Ahh Theravadins; they’re so triggered by emotions. Well, first thing is that the Pali text on SC has this rather embarrassing mistake in these lines. It should be: Mātā yathā niyaṃputtam āyusā ekaputtamanurakkhe; It is caused by the way the MS editors created the line breaks. In the source VRI edition it is correct, they have niyaṁ puttamāyusā. Worse, the MS editors added punctuation, which does not belong here at all, and they did so inconsistently, using comma in kp9 and dash in snp1.8. …

Do we have a parallel in other schools of Mettasutta (KP9)?

Please keep in mind that, because the Chinese Agamas (let alone the bits in Tibetan and Sanskrit!) have come to us in such a fragmentary and piecemeal way, the lack of known parallels doesn’t (necessarily) mean that a Pāli sutta is late It just means we don’t have a parallel for it in the several, partial, Northern Canons. That’s all.
