俱舍論疏 4.175

4.175

On the Śāstra's [words], "Having thus explained […] therefore it is called conceit (māna)": from here onward explains the distinction between conceit (māna) and arrogance (mada). This is the characteristic of conceit. The *Nyāyānusāra* says: "Conceit means the nature of the mind elevating itself in relation to others, weighing the superiority or inferiority of the virtues and categories of oneself and others; whether real or unreal, the mind elevates itself, relying on this to demean others; therefore it is called conceit."
