19.11

言沙門者,此翻為懃勞,如無礙道懃勞周力斷諸惑,故名懃勞也,亦名息惡。一、假名婆羅門者,如雪山北胡自稱婆羅門等;二、種姓婆羅門者,五印度中四姓中上族婆羅門種;三、正行婆羅門,即四姓出家修世出世正行,婆羅門此翻淨志也。

Regarding the term "śramaṇa": this translates as "diligent effort"; just as the uninterrupted path uses diligent effort and full strength to sever all defilements, it is called "diligent effort"; it is also called "stilling evil." [Regarding the three kinds of brahmans:] first, nominal brahmans, such as the northern barbarians of the Snowy Mountains who style themselves brahmans; second, brahmans by birth/clan, namely the superior clan of the brahman caste among the four castes of the five Indias; third, brahmans of correct practice, namely those from the four castes who leave household life to cultivate worldly and supramundane correct practice. "Brahman" here translates as "pure aspiration."
