English translation
“If the above actions such as boasting are only for one’s own awareness they are anubhāvas. The wise say that the other anubhāvas are self-pride, roaring like a lion, proud words, bounding about, enthusiasm to fight even without assistance, not fleeing from battle, and making the fearful fearless.”
