Commentary

The words साक्षात् 'in the presence of' etc. are optionally called गति when used along with the verb कृ।
Vart:- In the words साक्षात् &c. the force of the affix च्वि is understood, namely making a thing what it was not before, As साक्षात् कृत्य or कृत्वा मिथ्याकृत्ये मिथ्याकृत्वा making evident what was concealed before.
