Commentary
In the case of the verb स्पृह् 'to desire', the thing desired is called सम्प्रदान कारक।
The verb स्पृह to desire, belongs to the churadi class. The word governed by this verb takes the Dative case. As पुष्पेभ्यः स्पृहयति he desires flowers, फलेभ्यः स्पृहयति he desires fruits.
Why do we say 'the thing desired.' Observe पुष्पेभ्यो वने स्पृहयति he desires flowers in the forest. Here वने is in the Locative case.
