"He dwells equanimous therein": not lusting after what is desirable, not disliking what is undesirable, not producing delusion through a lack of even regard as others produce delusion, he dwells equanimous with six-factored equanimity regarding the six sense objects. "This is unsurpassed, bhante, regarding the modes of psychic power": bhante, this exposition regarding the two psychic powers is unsurpassed. "That, the Blessed One": the Blessed One directly knows that exposition completely, in its entirety. "For the Blessed One [who directly knows] that": for the Blessed One who directly knows that exposition completely. "There is nothing further to be directly known": there is nothing further to be known by direct knowledge. There is no such thing as another dhamma or person besides this that the Blessed One does not know—this does not exist. "Knowing which, another ascetic or brahmin": knowing what is not directly known by you, another ascetic or brahmin would have direct knowledge surpassing the Blessed One, or would have greater wisdom. "That is to say, regarding the modes of psychic power": here, "that is to say" (yadidaṃ) is merely a particle. There is no one who surpasses the Blessed One regarding the modes of psychic power. For past Buddhas also taught these two psychic powers, and future [Buddhas] will also teach just these. You too, comparing [your knowledge] with the knowledge of those [past and future Buddhas], taught just these. Thus, showing that the Blessed One is unsurpassed regarding the modes of psychic power, he clarifies: "For this reason too, bhante, I am thus confident in the Blessed One." Up to this point, the sixteen unexcelled dhammas that the General of the Dhamma, having sat down in his day quarters, contemplated have been shown.
