[1378] Whoever abandons the latent tendency of conceit (mānānusaya) from any place — does he abandon the latent tendency of views (diṭṭhānusaya) … the latent tendency of doubt (vicikicchānusaya) from that place? No. Or else, whoever abandons the latent tendency of doubt from any place — does he abandon the latent tendency of conceit from that place? The eighth person (aṭṭhamaka), with regard to painful feeling (dukkhā vedanā): he abandons the latent tendency of doubt from that place, but he does not abandon the latent tendency of conceit from that place. That same person, with regard to the two feelings in the sense-sphere element (kāmadhātu), with regard to the form element (rūpadhātu), and with regard to the formless element (arūpadhātu): he abandons the latent tendency of doubt from that place, and he abandons the latent tendency of conceit that stands in the same place with it (tadekaṭṭha). Whoever abandons the latent tendency of conceit from any place — does he abandon the latent tendency of lust for existence (bhavarāgānusaya) from that place? The one possessed of the supreme path (aggamaggasamaṅgī), with regard to the two feelings in the sense-sphere element: he abandons the latent tendency of conceit from that place, but he does not abandon the latent tendency of lust for existence from that place. That same person, with regard to the form element and the formless element: he abandons both the latent tendency of conceit and the latent tendency of lust for existence from that place. Or else, whoever abandons the latent tendency of lust for existence from any place — does he abandon the latent tendency of conceit from that place? Yes. Whoever abandons the latent tendency of conceit from any place — does he abandon the latent tendency of ignorance (avijjānusaya) from that place? Yes. Or else, whoever abandons the latent tendency of ignorance from any place — does he abandon the latent tendency of conceit from that place? The one possessed of the supreme path, with regard to painful feeling: he abandons the latent tendency of ignorance from that place, but he does not abandon the latent tendency of conceit from that place. That same person, with regard to the two feelings in the sense-sphere element, with regard to the form element, and with regard to the formless element: he abandons both the latent tendency of ignorance and the latent tendency of conceit from that place.
