टीकार्थ – कई सुख और यशोलिप्सा-लोलुप पुरुष-प्राणियों का उपमर्दन-विध्वंस वाले तलवार आदि शस्त्रों का तथा धनुर्वेद आदि शास्त्रों का बड़े उद्यम-लगन के साथ शिक्षण प्राप्त करते हैं । इन द्वारा शिक्षितसीखी हुई वह विद्या जंतुओं के विनाश-हनन के लिए होती है क्योंकि उस विद्या में यह उपदेश दिया जाता है, सिखाया जाता है कि जीव को मारने के लिए इस प्रकार आलीड़-प्रत्यालीड़-निशाना लगाने की विशिष्ट स्थितियों में होकर पैरों एवं हाथों को विशेष रूप में आगे पीछे कर स्थित होना चाहिए । कहा गया है कि लक्ष्य-जहाँ निशाना लगाना हो या जिस पर लगाना हो, उसे अपनी मुट्ठी में आच्छादित करना चाहिए-उसके सामने अपनी मुट्ठी बांधकर अवस्थित होना चाहिए । बंधी हुई मुट्ठी पर अपनी नजर रखनी चाहिए । यों उस पर बाण छोड़ते हुए यदि अपना मस्तक न हिलें तो लक्षित पुरुष को हत्-मरा हुआ मानना चाहिए । वैद्यक शास्त्र में कहा गया है कि लावक-लवे नामक पक्षी का रस यक्ष्मा-थारसिस के रोगी को देना चाहिए । उसे अभयारिष्ट जो एक प्रकार का मद्य है वह भी देना चाहिए । चाणक्य के अर्थशास्त्र में प्रतिपादित हुआ है कि अर्थोपादान हेतु, धन प्राप्ति के लिए दूसरे की इस प्रकार वंचना करनी चाहिए-ठगना चाहिए । अत: इन शास्त्रों को और कामशास्त्र को अशुभ अधव्यसाय-दूषित परिणामयुक्त पुरुष ही पढ़ते हैं । इस प्रकार शस्त्रविद्या, हथियार चलाने की विद्या तथा धनुर्वेद आदि शास्त्रों का अध्ययन बाल वीर्य है, यह समझना चाहिये । कई पुरुष अशुभ कर्मों के उदय के परिणामस्वरूप अश्वमेध, नरमेध, सर्वमेध आदि यज्ञों के उद्देश्य से प्राणियों के विनाशकारी अथर्ववेद के मंत्रों को पढ़ते हैं । वे मन्त्र किस प्रकार के हैं । सूत्रकार यह दिग्दर्शन कराते हुए कहते हैं-द्वीन्द्रिय आदि प्राणियों तथा पृथ्वी आदि भूतों को विविध प्रकार से क्लेशोत्पादक ऋग्वेद के मन्त्रों को अशुभ विचारयुक्त व्यक्ति पढ़ते हैं । इस सम्बन्ध में कहा गया है कि अश्वमेध यज्ञ के नियमानुसार मध्यान्ह में तीन कम छः सौ-पाँच सौ सत्तानवे पशुओं का नियोजन्-व्यापादन किया जाता है ।
नियुक्तिकार ने शस्त्रशब्द की जो व्याख्या की है, तद्विषयक गाथा द्वारा सूत्र में आये शस्त्र शब्द को स्पष्ट करने हेतु सूत्रकार यहाँ कहते हैं -
सत्थं असिमादीये विजामंते य देव कम्मकयं । पत्थिववारुण अग्गेय वाऊ तह मीसगं चेव ॥
टीका - शस्त्रं-प्रहरणंतच्च असिः-खङ्गस्तदादिकं, तथा विद्याधिष्ठितं, मन्त्राधिष्ठितं देवकर्मकृतंदिव्यक्रियानिष्पादितं. तच्च पञ्चविधं, तद्यथा-पार्थिवं वारुण माग्नेयं वयव्यं तथैवव्यादि मिश्रं येति । किञ्चान्यत् । -

- The Shri Sutra Kritanga Sutra states, "Cover the target with your fist, place your sight on the fist. If your head does not tremble, know that the target has been hit." (1)
Thus, a special type of liquor called Abhayaniṣṭa should be given to a person suffering from consumption, and a punishment like piercing with a spear should be given to a thief. According to Chanakya, one should deceive another for the sake of acquiring wealth. Thus, the Kama Shastra and other such scriptures are studied by those who are of a wicked disposition. The practice of weapons, archery, and other scriptures is all balavīrya, which means it is a waste of energy. Some people study the Atharva Veda mantras for the purpose of performing Ashvamedha, Naramedha, Sarvamedha, and other sacrifices, which are destructive to beings. What kind of mantras are these? The Sutrakar explains that those who are of a wicked disposition recite the mantras of the Rig Veda, which cause suffering to beings with two senses or more, and to the earth and other elements. In this regard, it is said:
"Six hundred are employed, in the middle of the day for animals. The words of the Ashvamedha are less than three animals." (1) etc. (4) Now, the Sutrakar explains the word "saththa" in the Sutra, which is used in the context of weapons.
Commentary: Many men, driven by the desire for pleasure and fame, learn the use of swords and other weapons, and the scriptures of archery, with great effort and dedication. The knowledge they acquire is for the destruction of animals, because these scriptures teach how to kill living beings by aiming at specific points on the body, and by moving the feet and hands in specific ways. It is said that the target should be covered with the fist, and the sight should be placed on the fist. If the head does not tremble while releasing the arrow, then the target is considered to be hit. In the science of medicine, it is said that the juice of the Lavaka bird should be given to a patient suffering from consumption. He should also be given Abhayariṣṭa, which is a type of liquor. Chanakya's Arthashastra states that one should deceive another for the sake of acquiring wealth. Therefore, these scriptures, and the Kama Shastra, are studied by those who are of a wicked disposition. The study of weapons, archery, and other scriptures is balavīrya, which means it is a waste of energy. Some people study the Atharva Veda mantras for the purpose of performing Ashvamedha, Naramedha, Sarvamedha, and other sacrifices, which are destructive to beings. These mantras are of a wicked nature. The Sutrakar explains that those who are of a wicked disposition recite the mantras of the Rig Veda, which cause suffering to beings with two senses or more, and to the earth and other elements. In this regard, it is said:
"Six hundred are employed, in the middle of the day for animals. The words of the Ashvamedha are less than three animals." (1) etc. (4) Now, the Sutrakar explains the word "saththa" in the Sutra, which is used in the context of weapons.
Commentary: Weapons, such as swords, are created by divine action, which is guided by knowledge and mantras. There are five types of weapons: earthly, watery, fiery, aerial, and mixed.
