65.22
In the commentary, "Eighth, the link of craving": the Kośa states: "Craving is greed for possessions and sexual craving," meaning that after age fifteen or sixteen, one covets fine material necessities and sexual craving actively manifests, but one has not yet pursued them extensively; hence it is merely called craving. However, the commentary says "entangled and seeking after pleasure and the rest." The word "and the rest" includes the other two feelings. "Entangled" refers to pleasant feeling; "seeking" applies to both [pleasant and neutral feelings]. Therefore, the Kośa states: "From these three feelings, three cravings are induced," meaning that due to the pressure of suffering, desire-craving arises toward pleasant feeling; or form-craving arises toward pleasant or neither-unpleasant-nor-pleasant feeling; or formless-craving arises solely toward neither-unpleasant-nor-pleasant feeling.
