3.192
此正引論廣辯邪正。婆羅門是梵語,具云婆羅賀摩拏,此云淨裔、亦云淨行。自稱祖自梵天口生,因從梵姓,如梵志即其種也。惟五天竺有,餘國無之。又云外意,其種別有經書,世承其業,或在家、或出家,恃術倨傲。言不請空閑者,空閑猶間隙也,請問之儀當待間隙,如禮有請間之語是也。而彼倨傲,卒然來問,所以責之也。彼問雖多,概以一世論報之,所以拒之也。如是說者悉是世論,無非情見。又曰「非我所說,是汝世論」,所以外之也。
This directly cites treatises to distinguish extensively between the heterodox and the orthodox. 'Brāhmaṇa' is a Sanskrit word; in full it is *brāhmaṇa*, translated here as 'pure descent' or 'pure conduct.' They claim that their ancestor was born from the mouth of Brahmā, and so they take their lineage from Brahmā; brahmacārins are of this caste. They exist only in the Five Indies and not in other countries. It is also said to mean 'external intent'; their caste has its own scriptures, and they inherit this profession over generations, either as householders or as renunciants, acting haughtily relying on their arts. Regarding 'without asking whether it was an opportune time,' an opportune time refers to a break or opening; the etiquette for asking questions requires waiting for a break, just as the *Book of Rites* has the phrase 'asking for an opening.' But he was arrogant and came abruptly with questions; hence he is reprimanded. Although his questions were numerous, [the Buddha] rejected them comprehensively by calling them a single worldly treatise, so as to refuse him. Saying that such statements are all worldly treatises means they are nothing but emotional views. Furthermore, saying 'they are not what I teach—they are your worldly treatises' was to treat them as external.
