mānātimāna (T. nga rgyal las kyang nga rgyal ང་རྒྱལ་ལས་ཀྱང་ང་རྒྱལ་) is translated as "outrageous arrogance," "exagerated pride," etc.
This is a type of arrogance/conceit (māna) that thinks "I am superior," in relation to someone who is better than us.[1]
StudyBuddhism states:
- Outrageous arrogance is a puffed-up mind that feels one is better than someone superior to oneself in some quality.[2]
Tsepak Rigdzin states:
- Exaggerated pride [is] a puffed-up feeling that you are higher than the extremely high.[3]
The Khenjuk states:
- Outrageous conceit is to regard oneself as greater than those superior to oneself.[4]
