Well, Bhoja's comment begins like this:
te praak-pratipaaditaaH phala-visheSaaH samaadheH prakarSaM
gacchata upasargaa upadravaa vighna-kaarinaH |
So, he seems to give as synonyms for 'upasarga' the words
'upadrava' and 'vighna-kaarin ("making vighna"), above
in plural:
upadrava m. that which attacks or occurs suddenly , any grievous
accident , misfortune , calamity , mischief , national distress (such as famine
, plague , oppression , eclipse , &c.) ; national commotion , rebellion ;
violence , outrage MBh. R. S3ak. VarBr2S. &c. [199,3] ; a supervenient disease
or one brought on whilst a person labours under another Sus3r. ; the fourth of
the five parts of a Sa1man stanza Shad2vBr. Comm. on TA1r. &c.
vighna m. breaker, destroyer (---); m. (n.) obstacle, hindrance.
Thus, I have no idea how Egenes gets his 'subordinate'...
