Scott Penny ran in three tries as Leinster secured a 28-20 United Rugby Championship bonus-point victory over Edinburgh at the Aviva Stadium.
It is the 11th straight victory across all competitions for Leo Cullen's side, who sit second with 39 points, five shy of table-topping Glasgow Warriors.
Edinburgh were hoping to secure a first victory over Leinster since March 2019, but it was the hosts who struck first when Max Deegan touched down for an opening 13th-minute try, successfully converted by Charlie Tector.
Duhan van der Merwe and Malelili Satala struck back with tries for Edinburgh, but Ross Thompson, who had earlier missed a penalty, could not convert the first try, though added a 23rd-minute penalty.
Penny then scored his hat-trick in the 44th, 68th and 74th minutes, Tector booting the extras on all three.
Charlie Shiel crossed the whitewash to draw Edinburgh closer with a last-gasp try, Cammy Scott missing the conversion as Edinburgh ran out of time to stage a comeback.
