> “Venerable Sir, does a man, while killing a man, kill a man, or does he kill a non-man?”  
> “Gautama, he kills a man, and he also kills non-men.”  
> “For what reason, Venerable Sir, is it said: ‘He kills a man, and he also kills non-men’?”  
> “Gautama, it occurs to him thus: ‘Indeed, I am killing one man.’ But while killing that one man, he kills manifold jīvas. For that reason, Gautama, it is said: ‘He kills a man, and he also kills non-men.’”  
> “Venerable Sir, does a man, while killing a horse, kill a horse, or does he kill a non-horse?”
