大乘百法明門論開宗義決 1.159

1.159

謂依三品我德處生者。依於三品起四慢類。依下中品而起一種。謂即是慢。於劣計己勝。於等計己等。心高舉故。於中上品而起一種。謂即過慢。於等計己勝。於勝計己等。心高舉故。依上品起二。謂慢過慢及是卑慢。謂於己勝計己為勝。於多勝己計己少劣。心高舉故。於我起一。謂即我慢。以於諸行妄執為我。心高舉故。於德起二。謂即邪慢及增上慢。以實無德計己有德。用邪思惟令心高舉。若於殊勝所證法中未得謂得。令心高舉。此顯七慢所生依處。若說九慢生依處者。若依俱舍及發智論。從前七慢三中離出。謂從前慢過慢卑慢。言我勝者即是過慢。言我等者謂即是慢。言我劣者即是卑慢。有勝我者即是卑慢。有等我者謂即是慢。有劣我者即是過慢。無勝我者謂即是慢。無等我者即是過慢。無劣我者即是卑慢。

Regarding "arising based on the three grades of self and virtue": based on the three grades, four classes of conceit arise. Based on the inferior and middling grades, one kind arises: namely, conceit; because toward the inferior one reckons oneself superior, and toward the equal one reckons oneself equal, the mind is elevated. Based on the middling and superior grades, one kind arises: namely, excessive conceit; because toward the equal one reckons oneself superior, and toward the superior one reckons oneself equal, the mind is elevated. Based on the superior grade, two arise: namely, conceit beyond conceit and inferior conceit; because toward one superior to oneself one reckons oneself superior, and toward one greatly superior to oneself one reckons oneself slightly inferior, the mind is elevated. Based on the self, one arises: namely, I-conceit; because one falsely grasps the conditioned factors as self, the mind is elevated. Based on virtue, two arise: namely, wrong conceit and arrogant conceit; because with no actual virtue one reckons oneself to have virtue, using false reflection to elevate the mind; or toward superior dharmas that are realized, not having attained them one claims to have attained them, elevating the mind. This reveals the bases from which the seven conceits arise. If one speaks of the bases from which the nine conceits arise: according to the Abhidharmakośa and the Jñānaprasthāna, they are differentiated from three of the former seven conceits—namely, from conceit, excessive conceit, and inferior conceit. Saying "I am superior" is excessive conceit; saying "I am equal" is conceit; saying "I am inferior" is inferior conceit; saying "there are those superior to me" is inferior conceit; saying "there are those equal to me" is conceit; saying "there are those inferior to me" is excessive conceit; saying "there are none superior to me" is conceit; saying "there are none equal to me" is excessive conceit; saying "there are none inferior to me" is inferior conceit.
