25. The Sanskrit has “abandoning killing and ceasing killing” (prāṇātipātaṃ prahāya prāṇātipātāt prativirataḥ). Similarly, in the Buddha’s other replies to Dīrghanakha’s questions, with the exception of questions (5) and (7), he uses the two verbs prahāya and prativirata, while the Tibetan uses just the single verb “abandon” (spong).
