The Utpadtividhi [utpadti-vidhi] describes the nature of a work. For example, 鈥�补驳苍颈丑辞迟谤补峁� juhoti鈥� (He should sacrifice by the Agnihotrahoma). Here the work agnihotra is related to injunction as a means for the desirable object. It implies that one should get his desirable object by performing the Agnihotrahoma.

Here a question arises. Every sacrifice or oblation (homa) is characterised by substances and deities. But in the aforesaid utpattividhi these are not stated. So, can it be called a utpattividhi? The solution is that it is not conducive to any fallacy; because there is no hard-and-fast rule that the characteristic features of a sacrifice must be cited in a utpattividhi. On the other hand, an injunction can not be judged as a utpattividhi by the mere mention of the characteristic features of a sacrifice. Otherwise 鈥�dadhan膩 juhoti鈥� (He should sacrifice by curd.) would also be a utpattividhi. So, 鈥�补驳苍颈丑辞迟谤补峁� juhoti鈥� must be a utpattividhi. Actually 鈥�dadhan膩 juhoti鈥� this 驳耻峁嘺惫颈诲丑颈 (an injunction which conveys some additional information for another main injunction) states curd as the substance for agnihotra. The deity is mentioned in another vedic sentence.

The 罢补颈迟迟颈谤墨测补产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 says:

鈥�agnir jyotir jyotir 补驳苍颈岣� 蝉惫腻丑别迟颈 蝉腻测补峁� juhoti, s奴ryo jyotir 箩测辞迟颈岣� 蝉奴谤测补岣� 蝉惫腻丑别迟颈 辫谤腻迟补岣�.鈥�^[1]

(He offers at evening by uttering the hymn, 鈥楩ire is light, light is fire. 厂惫腻丑腻.鈥� He offers in the morning by uttering the hymn, 鈥楾he sun is light, light is the sun. 厂惫腻丑腻.鈥�)

Here the word 鈥�蝉惫腻丑腻鈥� means 鈥榓n exclamation used in offering oblations to the gods (with dative). Here it is an indeclinable. In this vedic sentence Agni and Surya have been mentioned as deities for homa. So, 鈥�补驳苍颈丑辞迟谤补峁� juhoti鈥� in this injunction agnihotra is a technical name. This sacrifice is performed to Agni and 厂奴谤测补 deities in the morning and evening twilight respectively. The 鈥�tat-prakhya鈥� maxim has been used here to explain this solution. 鈥�Tat鈥� denotes the deity and 鈥�prakhya鈥� means denotative. This maxim has been borrowed from Jaimini鈥檚 aphorism 鈥�tatprakhya峁� c膩nya艣膩stram.鈥�^[2] It means, 鈥榠t is known by that name, but the description is in another book.鈥� If any injunction does not state its deity and necessary substances, then these are described in another place and we should depend on that description. So, the conclusion is that 鈥�补驳苍颈丑辞迟谤补峁� juhoti鈥� is utpattividhi, and not a 驳耻峁嘺惫颈诲丑颈.

艢补产补谤补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 has given another example of utpattividhi. He also established the utpattividhitva (the state of being utpattividhi) of the injunction, 鈥�腻驳丑腻谤补m 腻驳丑腻谤补yati 鈥� (He should sprinkle clarified butter upon the sacrificial fire). In 耻辫腻峁兣泆测腻驳补 (a kind of sacrificial ceremony in which hymns are uttered in a low voice) this 腻驳丑腻谤补 (sprinkling) is performed. Here the 辫奴谤惫补辫补办峁�i苍 (one who puts an objection to a decision) says that this injunction is an example of 驳耻峁嘺惫颈诲丑颈. He supports himself by saying this that if it is a 驳耻峁嘺惫颈诲丑颈, then there is no necessity of accepting the secondary meaning as in 鈥�udbhit膩 yajeta鈥� (He should sacrifice by the 鲍诲产丑颈诲测腻驳补.) The vedic sentence 鈥�腻驳丑腻谤补峁� nirvartayati鈥� (He accomplishes the act of sprinkling.) lays down the substance of the injunction 鈥�腻驳丑腻谤补m 腻驳丑腻谤补yati.鈥�

艢补产补谤补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 clearly presented the view of the 辫奴谤惫补辫补办峁�i苍. He said鈥�

鈥�na ca 驳耻峁嘺惫颈诲丑颈pak峁�e 濒补办峁�a峁嚹� bhavati yath膩 udbhid膩 yajeta iti. agnihotre sam膩sen膩vagata峁� gu峁嘺vidh膩nam. 膩gh膩re鈥檖i, 腻驳丑腻谤补峁� nirvartayati iti 艣ruty膩 eva gu峁噊 vidh墨yate.鈥�^[3]

The 蝉颈诲诲丑腻苍迟颈苍 (one who makes a conclusion) says that the quality (substance and deity of a sacrifice) is known from another text. And the text is, 鈥�catur 驳峁沨墨迟补峁� v膩 etad abh奴t tasy膩鈥檊h膩ram 膩gh膩rya.鈥� Here substance is mentioned for the act of 鈥�腻驳丑腻谤补鈥�.

艢补产补谤补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 explained the word 腻驳丑腻谤补.鈥欌赌�

鈥�d墨rghagh膩r膩 k峁�ara峁嘺kriya prasiddha 别惫腻鈥檊丑腻谤补岣�鈥�^[4]

(Sprinkling or oozing is known as 腻驳丑腻谤补.). So, 鈥�腻驳丑腻谤补鈥� is a nomenclature of an activity. So, the sentence 鈥�腻驳丑腻谤补m 腻驳丑腻谤补yati鈥� is a kind of karmotpattividhi. It is not a 驳耻峁嘺惫颈诲丑颈.
