[400] **"Not loathsome" (ajeguccho):** there is the person who is loathsome (jeguccha), and there is the person who is not loathsome.
And who is the person who is loathsome? Here a certain person is immoral, of evil character (pāpadhamma), of impure and suspect conduct, of concealed deeds; not an ascetic though claiming to be an ascetic, not one living the holy life though claiming to live the holy life; inwardly rotten, oozing (with lust), of vile nature like refuse — this is called the person who is loathsome.
Or else, he is prone to anger, full of despair; even when only a little is said to him, he takes offense, becomes angry, becomes hostile, becomes obstinate, and manifests anger, hatred (dosa), and displeasure — this is called the person who is loathsome.
Or else, he is prone to anger, he bears grudges, he is denigrating, he is domineering, he is envious, he is stingy, he is crafty, he is deceitful, he is obstinate, he is excessively conceited, he has evil desires, he holds wrong view, he adheres to his own views, he grasps tenaciously and relinquishes with difficulty — this is called the person who is loathsome.
And who is the person who is not loathsome? Here a bhikkhu is virtuous; he dwells restrained by the restraint of the Pāṭimokkha, accomplished in conduct and resort, seeing danger in the slightest faults; having undertaken them, he trains in the training rules — this is called the person who is not loathsome.
Or else, he is not prone to anger, not full of despair; even when much is said to him, he does not take offense, does not become angry, does not become hostile, does not become obstinate, and does not manifest anger, hatred, and displeasure — this is called the person who is not loathsome.
Or else, he is not prone to anger, he does not bear grudges, he is not denigrating, he is not domineering, he is not envious, he is not stingy, he is not crafty, he is not deceitful, he is not obstinate, he is not excessively conceited, he does not have evil desires, he does not hold wrong view, he does not adhere to his own views, he does not grasp tenaciously and he relinquishes with ease — this is called the person who is not loathsome. All the noble individuals (ariyapuggala), including the good worldling (kalyāṇaputhujjana), are not loathsome; hence "not impudent, not loathsome" (appagabbho ajeguccho).
