9.29
"Entering the womb like the flame of a lamp, / it successively increases as projected" directly explains the continuity. For example, just like the flame of a lamp, although it ceases moment by moment, it is able to continue. The skandhas transmigrating to another existence are also like this; there is no error in calling it transmigration. Therefore, although there is no self, solely because afflictions and karma serve as the causes, the meaning of the skandhas continuously entering the womb is established. As projected by karma, the skandhas in the womb successively increase. "Successively increase" means successively increasing from the kalala up to the praśākhā.
