The Buddha gave a metaphor for 厂补诲诲丑腻. 厂补诲诲丑腻 is a partner of human being. It is mentioned in the 厂补诲诲丑腻 Sutta of Sa峁儁utta Nik膩ya in the following way.

鈥淥ne occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at 厂腻惫补迟迟丑颈 in Jeta鈥檚 Grove, 础苍腻迟丑补辫颈峁囜笉颈办补鈥檚 Park. Then, when the night had advanced, a number of 诲别惫补迟腻蝉 (deities) belonging to the Satullapa host, of stunning beauty, illuminating the centric Jeta鈥檚 Grove, approached the Blessed One. Having approached, they paid homage to the Blessed One and stood to one side.

Then one 诲别惫补迟腻, standing to one side, recited this verse in the presence of the Blessed One:

鈥�厂补诲诲丑腻 dutiy膩 purisassa hoti,
No ce assadhiya峁� 补惫补迟颈峁�峁�丑补迟颈.
Yaso ca kitt墨 ca tatvassa hoti,
Sagga帽ca so gacchati 蝉补谤墨谤补峁� 惫颈丑腻 测腻鈥漷颈.^[1]

鈥�Faith is a person鈥檚 partner;
If lack of faith does not persist,
Fame and renown thereby come to him,
And he goes to heaven on leaving the body.鈥�^[2]

According this Sutta, it can be considered that a trusted one is a good partner and a good partner is trusted as well. If the lack of belief persists in partner, he cannot be a good partner. For instance, a partner of business should be a trusted person. If one is endowed with 厂补诲诲丑腻, he can get the well-being or welfare in both of life in the present and future. Thus, it is obvious that a trusted partner is essential for the development of one鈥檚 welfare.

This deliverance taught by the Buddha pointed out that the person who has the partner of 蝉补诲诲丑腻 can get fame and retinue in this very life. He is renowned for his faith and this is the welfare of his. Not only then, he can go to heaven after death. This is the welfare for his future life. Yet, one cannot directly get theses benefits. Only if he does good deeds through 蝉补诲诲丑腻, he can get these benefits.

With regard to the faith of partner, the statement of commentary can be seen as: 鈥�Purisassa devaloke manussaloke ceva 狈颈产产腻苍补帽ca gacchantassa 蝉补诲诲丑腻 dutiy膩 hoti, sah膩yakicca峁� 蝉腻诲别迟颈鈥�,^[3] defining that faith is the partner of a person who goes to the existence of human being, deities, and 狈颈产产腻苍补. Besides, it can make him getting fame and retinue. It can support one to get them in this very life and to attain 狈颈产产腻苍补 through 蝉补诲诲丑腻.
