[587] But here, headman (gāmaṇi), someone has abandoned lust (rāga). Because lust has been abandoned, others do not provoke him to anger; being provoked to anger by others, he does not display anger. He comes to be reckoned simply as 'gentle (sorata).' Hatred has been abandoned. Because hatred has been abandoned, others do not provoke him to anger; being provoked to anger by others, he does not display anger. He comes to be reckoned simply as 'gentle.' Delusion has been abandoned. Because delusion has been abandoned, others do not provoke him to anger; being provoked to anger by others, he does not display anger. He comes to be reckoned simply as 'gentle.' This, headman, is the cause, this is the reason why someone here is gentle and comes to be reckoned simply as 'gentle.'
