Explanatron :--By not going out of the limited area, there is no breach of the vow. But by sending another man, or by getting the object through another man or by showing one's presence by throwing a pebble, or a similar object, or by showing one's face, there are transgressions from the vow. Such transgressions should be carefully avoided.
