[46] "'Arrogance (atimāna) should be given up, relying on non-arrogance.' Thus indeed it was said; and with reference to what was this said? Here, householder, a noble disciple reflects thus: 'I am practicing for the abandoning, for the cutting off, of those fetters (saṃyojana) on account of which I might be arrogant. But if I were to be arrogant, even I myself might reprimand myself on account of arrogance; the wise, having investigated, would censure me on account of arrogance; and with the breakup of the body, after death, a bad destination would be expected on account of arrogance. This very arrogance is itself a fetter, itself a hindrance (nīvaraṇa). And those taints (āsava), vexatious and feverish, that might arise on account of arrogance do not occur for one who is not arrogant.' 'Arrogance should be given up, relying on non-arrogance'—what was thus said, it was with reference to this that it was said.
These, householder, are the eight things, stated in brief without being analyzed in detail, that lead to the abandoning, to the cutting off of business (vohāra), in the discipline of the Noble One. But it is not by just this much, householder, that the cutting off of business in each and every respect, in every way entirely, comes about in the discipline of the Noble One."
"But how then, venerable sir, does the cutting off of business in each and every respect, in every way entirely, come about in the discipline of the Noble One? It would be good, venerable sir, if the Blessed One would teach me the Dhamma in such a way that the cutting off of business in each and every respect, in every way entirely, comes about in the discipline of the Noble One."
"Then, householder, listen and attend carefully; I will speak."
"Yes, venerable sir," the householder Potaliya replied to the Blessed One.
