[181] **"Whatever" (yo pana):** whoever, of whatever sort … . **"Bhikkhu":** … this one is intended as "bhikkhu" in this sense. **"Intentionally" (sañcicca):** knowing, being fully aware — a transgression committed on purpose, having deliberately set upon it. **"Human being" (manussaviggaha):** from when the first mind (citta) has arisen, the first consciousness (viññāṇa) has become manifest in the mother's womb, up until the time of death — that which is within this interval is called a "human being." **"Should deprive of life" (jīvitā voropeyya):** he cuts off the life faculty (jīvitindriya), brings it to a stop, disrupts its continuity. **"Or should search out a lethal weapon (satthahāraka) for him":** a sword, a spear, an arrow, a stake, a cudgel, a stone, a knife, poison, or a rope.
