Commentary
If that which is not intended to be most affected by the act becomes however similarly connected with the action it also is called कर्म।
That which is not desired by the agent is anipsita or object of aversion. Thus विषं भक्षयति he eats poison, चोरात् पश्यति. He sees the thieves. ग्रामम् गच्छन् वृक्षमूला न्युपसर्पति going to the village, he plucks the roots of the trees.
