obl:agent: agent modifier

The agent modifier is the semantic/deep subject which has been passivised, surfacing as an oblique. These are not case marked with the ergative, but rather with one of several possible postpositions: ਵੱਲੋਂ vallõ, ਕੋਲੋਂ kolõ, ਤੋਂ tõ, or in some literary language ਦੁਆਰਾ duārā. See also aux:pass.
