kārukāḥ sūpakārādayaḥ nātigarhitakarmāṇaḥ | eṣa eteṣāṃ śilpibhyo bhedaḥ | prajāyā vighāto'nutpattiḥ |

Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
‘Artisans,’—the professional cook and others following not very low crafts;—this is what distinguishes these from other craftsmen.

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

The ‘impairing’ of offspring means that children are not born.—(219)
