In "lances enter", "staffs enter", and the like, men connected with them are implied by the lances, etc., for the sake of accomplishing their own entering. Hence this is indicative transfer by inclusion.
One should not, however, cite as an example of inclusive indicative transfer [cases like] "the cow is to be tied", where the individual is implied by the universal—with the thought, "how could the tying enjoined by the Veda apply to me?"—and not expressed by the word,
according to the maxim: "The primary denotation cannot proceed to the substantive when its power is exhausted in the attribute."
For here there is neither a motive nor is this conventional usage. Rather, the individual is implied by the universal because of the invariable concomitance with the individual; just as in "let it be done" the agent is [implied], in "do" the object, and in "enter the ball [of food]" "house", "eat", and so forth.
