We must choose the meaning of a word that suits the context best, as
in the case of the word Svaru. =EF=BF=BDActing means drawing something nea=

different limbs perform different actions; and this is signified by
the word Upavesha. =EF=BF=BDThe words Juhoti and Harana have similar meani=

We cannot accept the common meaning of words; and must have new ones
as in the case of ajya, or make a selection, as in the case of Sam-
yavana. =EF=BF=BDThe meaning of certain terms is specially defined: for
instance, Mitra and Varuna signify renunciation of action when the
work of life is done.
There is purpose in action, and its idea is illustrated by the Soma
sacrifice. =EF=BF=BDAction with a purpose arises because of a close connec=

between the actor and the objects of life. =EF=BF=BDAll purpose has its va=
lue;
but the final purpose of action is purification.
