___A. 264. Gautama! Such a man,...till sets a trap,...till a forest with varieties of flora, sometimes performs three activities, sometimes four activities, and sometimes five activities.
Q. 265. Bhante! Why do you say so that he sometimes performs three activities, sometimes four activities and sometimes five activities?
A. 265. Gautama ! So long as he holds the net but fastens not the animal and kills it not, he is touched by three activities, viz., physical activities or activities of the body, instrumental activities arising out of the collection of instruments, and activities born out of hatred. So long as he holds the net and fastens the animal but kills it not, he is touched by four activities, viz., physical, instrumental, hatred-born and pain-causing. When he holds the net, fastens the animal and kills it, he is touched by five activities, viz., physical, instrumental, hatredborn, pain-causing and slaughter. Hence, oh Gautama, it is so,...till sometimes five activities.
