Explanation in English from Ācārya Pūjyapāda’s Sarvārthasiddhi:
Ānayana is ordering someone to bring something from a country outside the mental resolve. Commanding someone, “Do this,” outside the limit is preṣyaprayoga. Making known one’s intentions to someone outside the mental resolve by signs such as coughing, grunting, etc., is śabdānupāta. Showing oneself up to someone outside the mental resolve is rūpānupāta. Signalling to someone outside the mental resolve by throwing clod, etc., is pudgalakṣepa. These are the five transgressions of the supplementary vow of abstaining from activity with regard to the country–deśavirativrata.
