To this the reply is And since etc.. And because none in this world does intentionally i, e.. with a previous expectation (āśaṁśa buddhi pūrvikām) such deed BS would give a fruit unseen and evil. It is due to this reason that no body is found to hold an expectation for the evil unseen (adrṣṭa) [ while he does the deeds of krsi etc.] Therefore, conclude that all actions (good like dana and bad like krsi) whatever invariably give a result which is adrṣṭa ( unseen ).

The commentator is anxious to explain " savva kiriye' as all actions good (like dana) and bad (like krṣi); but it is very difficult to explain how the good actions (like dana)
