Agni’s Epithets, Manifestations, and Expiation Procedures
ततस्तदर्थ यतते कर्म चारभते महत् । इष्टानां रूपगन्धानामभ्यासं च निषेवते,जब किसी विषयमें राग होता है, तब मनुष्य उसे पानेके लिये प्रयत्नशील होता है और उसके लिये बड़े-बड़े कार्योका आरम्भ करता है। जब वे अभीष्ट रूप, गन्ध आदि विषय प्राप्त हो जाते हैं, तब वह उनका बारंबार सेवन करता है
tatas tadarthaṁ yatate karma cārabhate mahat | iṣṭānāṁ rūpagandhānām abhyāsaṁ ca niṣevate ||
“Then, driven by that attachment, a person strives to obtain the desired object and even undertakes great efforts and enterprises for it. And when the wished-for objects of sense—such as pleasing forms and fragrances—are obtained, he repeatedly indulges in them.”

Educational Q&A
Attachment (rāga) drives effort and large undertakings to obtain desired sense-objects; once obtained, enjoyment tends to become repetitive and habitual, implying the need for vigilance and self-restraint in ethical life.
Vyādha is explaining a psychological-ethical sequence: desire leads to striving and major actions to secure objects, and upon gaining them one repeatedly indulges—illustrating how craving sustains continued engagement with sense pleasures.
