sakriyasya prayogastu yad膩 sa vi峁yo 峁噄肠a岣� || 126 ||126. The imperative (濒辞峁�) is used after roots like 辫峁沜肠丑 when the bare object is prompted. When the already active object is prompted, it comes within the scope of the use of the causative affix (峁噄肠).
Commentary
[The imperative (濒辞峁�) is used when some one who is not yet an agent is sought to be made an agent, as in 办补峁璦峁� kuru. The causative (峁噄肠) is used when someone who is already an agent is sought to be kept in that position, when it is desired that he should not cease to be an agent.]
It is now shown why the one who is prompted is called (he agent (办补谤迟腻) and not (karma).
