Explanation: The first line directly answers; the second line clarifies abandonment by vision and cultivation; the lower two lines clarify that they do not occur on the path of cultivation. Now, the seven prides are: 1. pride (māna), 2. excessive pride (atimāna), 3. pride beyond pride (mānātimāna), 4. pride of self (asmimāna), 5. pride of presumption (adhimāna), 6. pride of inferiority (ūnamāna), 7. wrong pride (mithyāmāna). Causing the mind to be exalted is collectively given the name of pride; because their modes of activity differ, they are divided into seven kinds. Considering oneself superior to an inferior, or equal to an equal: although this accords with the intentional object, because the mind is exalted, it is called pride. Considering oneself superior to an equal, or equal to a superior: this is called excessive pride, because it exceeds the previous pride. Considering oneself superior to a superior: this is called pride beyond pride, because one acts with pride exceeding the other. Grasping at a self and what belongs to a self, causing the mind to be exalted, is called pride of self, because it arises relying on the self. Thinking one has attained what has not been attained is called pride of presumption. Thinking oneself only slightly inferior to one who is vastly superior is called pride of inferiority. Thinking oneself to possess virtue when one lacks virtue is called wrong pride; accomplishing evil deeds is called having no virtue, and being haughty relying on evil is called wrong pride. As for the nine prides, the Jñānaprasthāna says: "There are nine classes of pride: 1. the pride class 'I am superior', 2. the pride class 'I am equal', 3. the pride class 'I am inferior', 4. the pride class 'there are those superior to me', 5. the pride class 'there are those equal to me', 6. the pride class 'there are those inferior to me', 7. the pride class 'there are none superior to me', 8. the pride class 'there are none equal to me', 9. the pride class 'there are none inferior to me'." Regarding "derive from three": these nine classes of pride flow forth from three prides among the previous seven prides. Those three prides are pride, excessive pride, and pride of inferiority. The first, the pride class 'I am superior', arises from excessive pride. The second, the pride class 'I am equal', arises from the first pride. The third, the pride class 'I am inferior', arises from the pride of inferiority. The fourth, the pride class 'there are those superior to me', also arises from the pride of inferiority. The fifth, the pride class 'there are those equal to me', arises from the first pride. The sixth, the pride class 'there are those inferior to me', arises from excessive pride. The seventh, the pride class 'there are none superior to me', arises from the first pride. The eighth, the pride class 'there are none equal to me', arises from excessive pride. The ninth, the pride class 'there are none inferior to me', arises from the pride of inferiority. Question: "In the pride 'there are none inferior to me', what is the elevated aspect?" Answer: "It means that loving and delighting in an assembly of superior sentient beings, one reflects back upon one's own body: though knowing oneself to be extremely inferior, one still respects oneself; thus the pride 'there are none inferior to me' is accomplished."
