[102] **Having abandoned deceit and conceit, one is cleansed (dhono):** deceptive conduct is called deceit (māyā). Here someone, having engaged in misconduct by body, having engaged in misconduct by speech, having engaged in misconduct by mind, sets up an evil wish for the sake of concealing it: he wishes, "May none know me"; he intends, "May none know me"; he utters speech, thinking, "May none know me"; he strives with the body, thinking, "May none know me." Whatever of this kind is deceit, deceitfulness, beguiling, cheating, fraud, dissembling, evasion, hiding, hiding away, covering, covering over, not making plain, not making manifest, covering up, evil-doing — this is called deceit.
**Conceit (māna):** conceit in one way: whatever is haughtiness of mind (citta). Conceit in two ways: the conceit of self-exaltation, the conceit of disparaging others. Conceit in three ways: the conceit "I am better," the conceit "I am equal," the conceit "I am inferior." Conceit in four ways: one generates conceit through gain, one generates conceit through fame, one generates conceit through praise, one generates conceit through pleasure. Conceit in five ways: one generates conceit, thinking, "I am a gainer of agreeable forms"; one generates conceit, thinking, "I am a gainer of agreeable sounds … odours … tastes … tangibles." Conceit in six ways: one generates conceit through the accomplishment of the eye, one generates conceit through the accomplishment of the ear, one generates conceit through the accomplishment of the nose … the accomplishment of the tongue … the accomplishment of the body … the accomplishment of the mind. Conceit in seven ways: conceit, excessive conceit, conceit surpassing excessive conceit, the conceit of inferiority, overestimating conceit, the conceit "I am" (asmimāna), wrong conceit. Conceit in eight ways: one generates conceit through gain, one generates the conceit of inferiority through loss; one generates conceit through fame, one generates the conceit of inferiority through obscurity; one generates conceit through praise, one generates the conceit of inferiority through blame; one generates conceit through pleasure, one generates the conceit of inferiority through pain. Conceit in nine ways: the conceit of one who is better, "I am better"; the conceit of one who is better, "I am equal"; the conceit of one who is better, "I am inferior"; the conceit of one who is equal, "I am better"; the conceit of one who is equal, "I am equal"; the conceit of one who is equal, "I am inferior"; the conceit of one who is inferior, "I am better"; the conceit of one who is inferior, "I am equal"; the conceit of one who is inferior, "I am inferior." Conceit in ten ways: here someone generates conceit through birth, or through clan, or through being the son of a good family, or through beauty of complexion, or through wealth, or through study, or through a sphere of work, or through a sphere of craft, or through a branch of knowledge, or through learning, or through quick-wittedness, or on one ground or another. Whatever of this kind is conceit, conceiving, the state of being conceited, haughtiness, loftiness, a banner, self-exaltation, the mind's desire for a banner — this is called conceit.
**Having abandoned deceit and conceit, one is cleansed:** having abandoned, having forsaken, having dispelled, having made an end of, having brought to non-existence deceit and conceit — thus "having abandoned deceit and conceit, one is cleansed."
