19.7

Explanation: "The anusayas are the root of all existence" means that because these anusayas are the root of all existence, karma without them has no power to bring about existence. "All existences" means the three existences. In brief, one should know that their distinctions are six: first, greed; second, greed-anger; third, pride; fourth, ignorance; fifth, views; sixth, doubt. The verse says "also" [implied by context], not merely that anger is called greed-anger; the intention is to show that pride and the others also, through the force of greed, latently increase with respect to their objects. Because the arising of all defilements is due to the force of greed, one should therefore speak of greed-anger, greed-pride, down to greed-doubt. The word "and" indicates that the six substances are each distinct.
