俱舍論疏 19.8

19.8

Regarding the treatise's "First, solidifying the root", from here down the ten functions are explained. The *Nyāyānusāra* says: "It causes the possession (prāpti) to become firm, because the antidote is distant." The commentary states: Because possession is not abandoned, the anuśayas repeatedly arise. If that possession did not exist, the defilements would not arise; thus possession is the root. Defilements repeatedly arise, and because the antidote is distant, it makes the possession firm; hence it is called 'solidifying the root'.
