A deity engages the Buddha in verse on peerless, exploring a teaching on suffering, liberation, and the law of kamma.

SN 1.45 Peerless

“Anomanāmaṁ nipuṇatthadassiṁ,
Paññādadaṁ kāmālaye asattaṁ;
Taṁ passatha sabbaviduṁ sumedhaṁ,
Ariye pathe kamamānaṁ mahesin”ti.

Reference Translation by Bhikkhu Sujato (CC0).

“Anomanāmaṁ nipuṇatthadassiṁ,

“Behold him of peerless name who sees the subtle meaning,

Paññādadaṁ kāmālaye asattaṁ;

giver of wisdom, unattached to the realm of sensuality:

Taṁ passatha sabbaviduṁ sumedhaṁ,

the all-knower, so very intelligent,

Ariye pathe kamamānaṁ mahesin”ti.

the great seer treading the noble road.”
