in cases like 'he should lead a refined life' (nāgarakaṃ vṛttaṃ varteta) or 'he should sacrifice with the Viśvajit sacrifice' (viśvajitā yajeta), because pervasion and delimitation are observed through the non-identity of the general and the particular, the particular action of puṣ is indeed the object of the general root puṣ. / Nor is there any invariant rule that adverbs can only be objects; for an action, just as it is an object because of being brought into accomplishment, is also an agent because of being brought into existence; and hence adverbs are construed in both ways: 'having produced nourishment of wealth, he nourishes' (raipoṣaṃ kṛtvā puṣyati), or 'he nourishes in such a way that there is nourishment of wealth' (raipoṣaṃ yathā bhavaty evaṃ puṣyati). / An accomplished [action] that is joined with the characteristics of what is to be accomplished is 'accomplished-to-be-accomplished'; as in: 'marvelous is the milking of the cows by an untrained non-cowherd' (āścaryo gavāṃ doho'śikṣitenāgopālena), 'truly excellent is the drinking of milk by Yajñadatta' (sādhu khalu payasaḥ pānaṃ yajñadattena), 'wonderful indeed is the composition of the sūtra by Pāṇini' (vicitrā hi sūtrasya kṛtiḥ pāṇininā). / Here, since the instrumental case is taught for the agent because of the rule that 'when both [agent and object] are applicable, the genitive is used only for the object,' it is understood that this action, although accomplished, also becomes something to be accomplished by virtue of speaker's intention. / Others, however, describe the accomplished-to-be-accomplished differently: 'he sits after the manner of a camel' (uṣṭrāsikām āste), 'he eats five times' (pañca vārān bhuṅkte), 'he cooks five turns' (pañca prayogān pacati). / Here, because the camel-sitting, turns, and performances have no separate existence as they consist of a particular action, repetition, or execution, and because the accusative is observed for things to be designated by the verbal action, it is understood through the speaker's intention of non-difference that even accomplished things have the status of something to be accomplished, just like the action itself. / Thus it is said: / 'Because it is a particular condition of that [action], the camel-sitting is not distinct [and] not to be pervaded; / but in its state of being accomplished, on account of identity with the sitting, it is called an object in terms of its result. // Because of the relation "this is that" when quality and qualified are non-different, / the state of being accomplished belonging to turns and the like, just like that of an action, is not flawed.' (2.3) / Therefore, the meaning of uṣṭrāsikām āste and the like is: 'he sits like a camel' (uṣṭravad āste), 'he performs the action of eating five times' (pañcāvṛttiṃ bhujikriyāṃ karoti), 'he executes five cookings' (pañca pākān nirvartayati). / What is to be accomplished and is joined with the characteristics of the accomplished is 'to-be-accomplished-accomplished'; as in: 'it is to be done by you' (kartavyaṃ bhavataḥ), 'two things are to be done' (kārye bhavataḥ).
