I am not a native speaker of English, but as far as I know this phrase is specifically used with Dear list members, In the Āyāraṃgasutta a phrase is found corresponding to Skt yāvantaḥ kiyantaḥ. MW gives as its meaning "as many as". I am not a native speaker of English, but as far as I know this phrase is specifically used with numbers ("as many as a hundred people ...). In the passage concerned there is no number. It functions as a subject to either a verb meaning "they commit violence" or nouns/adjectives like araṃbhajīvī and pariggahāvaṃtī. MW refers to TBr, without, however, a place or an example. I hope someone on the list can provide me with an (or the) example from the TBr or any other text.
