The King of Samadhi Sutra says:
:Even an offering throughout billions of realms, :Consisting of gifts infinite in number and variety, :Presented to great beings every day for all eternity, :Could not match the wonder of a mind of love.<ref>https://read.84000.co/translation/UT22084-055-001.html#UT22084-055-001-3381</ref>
Nagarjuna's Precious Garland (2:83–85) speaks of 'eight rewards of love':
:Offerings of three hundred pots of food :Made three times each and every day, :Could not match even a portion of the merit :Gained from just a single moment’s loving kindness.
:Even if it does not bring you liberation, :It will produce the eight rewards of love: :Gods and humans will care for you, :And they will offer you protection,
:You will be happy and know many joys, :No poison or weapon will do you harm, :Effortlessly, you will achieve your aims, :And you will be born in Brahma’s realm.
