8. Karmakāraka (कर्मकारक)

Summary

Chapter 8 is the act and the agent. An agent existing before the act would not depend on it. An act existing before the agent would have no one to do it. The verse does not find a first member of that pair.

अध्याय ८ कर्म र कर्ता हुन्। कर्मअघि भएको कर्ता त्यसमा अड्दैनथ्यो। कर्ताअघि भएको कर्मको गर्ने कोही हुँदैनथ्यो। श्लोकले त्यो जोडीको पहिलो सदस्य पाउँदैन।
