Commentary by T Krishnamacharya:

What is unpleasant is not desired. The response of the mind is then to move away from it. Whether in fact such a step did prevent Duḥkha is not immediately evident.

“Dveṣa is the consequence of Duḥkha from such as, getting what you are not expecting or, getting other than what you are expecting.”
