俱舍論記 4.42

4.42

「欲謂希求所作事業」者，欲謂於境能有希求所作事業，由有此欲，心等趣境。又《入阿毘達摩》云「欲謂希求所作事業，隨順精進，謂我當作如是事業。」

"Desire (chanda) means aspiring toward an activity to be done": desire means being able to have aspiration toward an activity to be done regarding an object; due to the existence of this desire, the mind and so forth proceed toward the object. Furthermore, the Abhidharmāvatāra states: "Desire means aspiring toward an activity to be done, conforming with diligence, [in the sense of] 'I should perform such an activity.'"
