Kumārila says: "We do not speak of 'the destruction of what is done and the arising of what is not done' as being due to the destruction of an action performed by some agent, for in your view there is no agent at all. Rather, [we say that] 'the destruction of what is done and the arising of what is not done' follows from your acceptance of the absolute destruction of action and the production of its result."
