Gañadharavāda . •: 99:anybody ( including even the doer of a deed ) when it is (in the process of) producing its effect, it rather, never fails to produce ( janayanti eva ) its effect because it is a self-complete cause. For, even though not known to the sower, the seed of codrava, etc., fallen in some tract of land and reaching the state of a self-complete cause by the presence of the materials, viz, the water, etc., does produce its effect even in the absence of a desire ( for that effect ) on the part of the sower. And deeds like cultivation of land, injury to living beings, etc., are. of the nature ( bhūta ) of self-complete causes in so for as the production of sin (a-dharma ) is concerned. Hence in such causes, where does the desire (if) present in the performer of those deeds become useful ? On the other hand, ( meaning of ca ) the wise ( i. e., those who do their duties disinterestedly-vivekinah ) have no desire for the fruits even in doing such deeds as giving a gift, etc., instead of this, such deeds being of the nature of " self-complete causes " produce the fruit in the form of religious merit (dharma ) which is only of a superior quality.
Therefore, it must be admitted that there is always an invisible fruit good or bad of any action whatsoever, whether it be good or bad, because otherwise there will be no propriety ( anupapatti ) of the existence of innumerable transmigrating souls.
To demonstrate the same the author says :इहरा अदिद्वरहिया सव्वे मुच्चेज ते अपयत्तेणं। . GEITH
