He is called a śramaṇa because he has pacified misdeeds and afflictions. He is a brahmin because he has abandoned all misdeeds; he is a śramaṇa because he has eliminated the fatigue (śrama; ngal ba) brought on by afflictions; and he is a renunciant since he has removed the impurities of selfhood. It is the Blessed One who has such qualities who taught this. The same applies for the truths of suffering, origination, cessation and the path.
