Second, matching desire with Kāśyapa. "For all wholesome dharmas, desire is the foundation": Jingxi says: "If desire is the foundation, why is it matched solely with Kāśyapa? Answer: The meaning has common and specific [aspects]. By the common meaning it may be so; but if discussed specifically, it is taken only in terms of desire. Thus now Kāśyapa receives this name foremost among wholesome desires, because dhūta practices are foremost among wholesome deeds."
