[1444] He who comprehends the latent tendency of conceit (mānānusaya) from whatever [basis] — does he comprehend therefrom the latent tendency of views (diṭṭhānusaya) … the latent tendency of doubt (vicikicchānusaya)? No. Or rather, he who comprehends the latent tendency of doubt from whatever [basis] — does he comprehend therefrom the latent tendency of conceit? The eighth person (aṭṭhamaka): in regard to painful feeling (dukkhā vedanā) he comprehends therefrom the latent tendency of doubt, but he does not comprehend therefrom the latent tendency of conceit. That very person, in regard to the two feelings in the sense-sphere element (kāmadhātu), in the form element (rūpadhātu), and in the formless element (arūpadhātu), comprehends therefrom the latent tendency of doubt, and he comprehends the latent tendency of conceit that stands in the same place as it (tadekaṭṭha). He who comprehends the latent tendency of conceit from whatever [basis] — does he comprehend therefrom the latent tendency of lust for existence (bhavarāgānusaya)? One possessed of the highest path (aggamaggasamaṅgī): in regard to the two feelings in the sense-sphere element he comprehends therefrom the latent tendency of conceit, but he does not comprehend therefrom the latent tendency of lust for existence. That very person, in regard to the form element and the formless element, comprehends therefrom the latent tendency of conceit and comprehends the latent tendency of lust for existence. Or rather, he who comprehends the latent tendency of lust for existence from whatever [basis] — does he comprehend therefrom the latent tendency of conceit? Yes. He who comprehends the latent tendency of conceit from whatever [basis] — does he comprehend therefrom the latent tendency of ignorance (avijjānusaya)? Yes. Or rather, he who comprehends the latent tendency of ignorance from whatever [basis] — does he comprehend therefrom the latent tendency of conceit? One possessed of the highest path: in regard to painful feeling he comprehends therefrom the latent tendency of ignorance, but he does not comprehend therefrom the latent tendency of conceit. That very person, in regard to the two feelings in the sense-sphere element, in the form element, and in the formless element, comprehends therefrom the latent tendency of ignorance and comprehends the latent tendency of conceit.
