NOTE THAT वेला f. CAN SPECIFICALLY MEAN ‘seashore, beach, coastline’. I’M JUST NOT SURE WHAT IS MAKING IT ACC HERE. MY BEST GUESS IS THAT IT IS THE D.O. OF अति + √गम् (MEANING “HE WENT BEYOND HIS COASTLINE” IN THE SENSE OF “RETREATED BACK FROM IT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION”) AND THAT योजनम् IS ACC OF EXTENT
