exceeding pride (nga rgyal las kyang nga rgyal), i.e., thinking you are even better than those who are great
the pride of thinking "I exist" (nga'o snyam pa'i nga rgyal)
blatant pride (mngon pa'i nga rgyal), i.e., thinking you have greater qualities than you actually possess
the pride of thinking that you are slightly inferior (cung zad snyam pa'i nga rgyal), i.e., thinking you are slightly inferior to those who are great, but that you are excellent nonetheless
