"Venerable Sir! If a man, in a swamp, or […] up to an impassable forest, whose livelihood is deer-hunting, whose intention is towards deer, whose mind is set upon deer, goes to kill deer, and thinking, 'These are deer,' should stand having drawn the arrow up to his ear to kill a certain deer; and another man, approaching from behind, should cut off his head with a sword by his own hand; and that arrow, due to that very prior stretching, should pierce that deer—then, Venerable Sir, is that man touched by hostility towards the deer or touched by hostility towards the man?"
"Gautama! The one who kills the deer is touched by hostility towards the deer; the one who kills the man is touched by hostility towards the man."
"For what reason, Venerable Sir, is it said: 'The one who kills the deer is touched by hostility towards the deer; the one who kills the man is touched by hostility towards the man'?"
"Is it not so, Gautama, that it should be said: 'What is being done is done; what is being fitted [to the bowstring] is fitted; what is being accomplished is accomplished; what is being discharged is discharged'?"
"Yes, Lord! It should be said: 'What is being done is done; what is being fitted is fitted; what is being accomplished is accomplished; what is being discharged is discharged.'"
"For that reason, Gautama, it is said: 'The one who kills the deer is touched by hostility towards the deer; the one who kills the man is touched by hostility towards the man.'
If [the injured one] dies within six months, [the killer] is touched by five actions: bodily, instrumental, malicious, tormenting, and life-depriving action. If he dies beyond six months, [the assailant] is touched by four actions: bodily, instrumental, malicious, and tormenting."
