The Blessed One thus showed those bhikkhus the maintenance of lovingkindness in being in its various aspects. And now, since lovingkindness is near to [wrong] view of self because it has creatures for its object, he therefore completed the teaching with the following stanza 'Ditthin ca anupagamma'. He did this as a preventative against [their straying into] the thicket of [speculative] views (see M.i. 8) by showing those bhikkhus how the Noble Plane is reached through making that same lovingkindness jhana the basis for insight.
