4.317

就明慢中,具應有八,今此文中略無大慢,故但有七。又此「憍慢」,《成實論》中名為慢。八中,五種約人以別。初言慢者,如《成實》釋,緣於下人及等處起,於等計等,此過輕故,直名為慢。此無所陵,何故名慢?《成實》釋言:是中有其取我相過,故說為慢;若無我想,終不自高,亦不計等。所少大慢,其唯緣於等境界起,於等自天名為大,慢慢、不如慢及與憍慢緣上境生。他實過己,自謂勝彼,此過最重,慢中之慢,名曰慢慢。他人過己,分齊玄絕,便言我今少不如彼,陵他多邊名不如慢。於其父母師長等邊不能尊敬名為憍慢,亦名傲慢。餘有三種,約法以別。報我陵人名我慢,此我是其八慢之體。無德自高名為邪慢,又復恃其惡法陵人名為邪慢。未得上法,自謂已得,名增上慢。餘皆可知。

In explaining pride (māna), fully there should be eight; here in this text "great pride" (mahāmāna) is omitted, so there are only seven. Moreover, this "arrogant pride" is called "pride" in the *Tattvasiddhi-śāstra*. Among the eight, five kinds are distinguished in relation to persons. The first, called "pride" (māna), as explained in the *Tattvasiddhi-śāstra*, arises in relation to inferior persons and equals; reckoning oneself equal to an equal, this fault is light, so it is simply called "pride". Here there is no overbearing contempt; why is it called pride? The *Tattvasiddhi-śāstra* explains: "In this there is the fault of grasping at the mark of self; therefore it is said to be pride. If one has no notion of self, one would ultimately not exalt oneself, nor would one reckon oneself equal." The missing "great pride" (mahāmāna) arises solely in relation to equal objects: regarding an equal, thinking oneself divine, it is called "great [pride]". Overweening pride (mānātimāna), pride of inferiority (ūnamāna), and arrogant pride (abhimāna) arise in relation to superior objects. When another person truly surpasses oneself and one claims to be superior to him, this fault is the gravest—the pride among prides, termed "overweening pride". When another person surpasses oneself by an immense degree, and one says, "Now I am only slightly inferior to him," disparaging the greater extent [of his superiority], this is called "pride of inferiority". Being unable to respect one's parents, teachers, elders, and so forth is called "arrogant pride", also called haughty pride. The remaining three kinds are distinguished in relation to dharmas. Clinging to self and holding others in contempt is called "self-pride" (asmimāna); this "self" is the substance of the eight kinds of pride. Exalting oneself without virtue is called "erroneous pride" (mithyāmāna); again, relying on one's own evil dharmas to hold others in contempt is called "erroneous pride". Not yet having attained higher dharmas and claiming to have attained them is called "pride of superiority" (adhimāna). The rest are all intelligible.
