meanings; rather he merely states that when the root-meanings are the objects of desire, even the accusative-meanings, which are the objects of rootmeanings, become the objects of desire indirectly. And this view is supported by the linguistic fact that the accusatives associated with the roots such as “jnā' and 'is' referring to some objects as in ghatam jānāti' and 'sukham icchati' etc., refer to the objectness (visayatva) or the chief-qualificandness (mukhyaviśesyatva); and hence the accusatives, associated with the desideratives referring to some objects, too, can refer to the objecthood, described by the root-meanings (actions), which can be considered as the chief qualificandness described by the desire.
