Commentary
The words formed by उणादि affixes denote other ideas other than these two - 1. Reciepient 2. Ablation.
The Unadi affixes being a subdivision of krit affixes, would have, by rule 3.4.67, denoted the agent. By the present sutra they are made to denote the object, the instrument and the location also. The word ताभ्यां has been used in the sutra in order to include the word sampradana also. For, had the sutra been अन्यत्रोणादयः, only the Apadana karaka would have been excluded, as being the nearest; but not so the Sampradana karaka. Thus कृषितोऽसौ = कृषिः (Un. IV. 120) 'agriculture i.e. what is ploughed' (object); तन्यत इति = तन्तुः (Un. 1.69) 'a thread i.e. what is drawn out'; वृत्तमिति वर्त्म (Un. IV. 145) 'a way i.e. what is established'; चरितं = चर्म (Un. IV. 145) 'skin' (in which they live).
