"Running about everywhere / to obtain sense objects is called grasping": grasping refers to greed. When one is grown, craving the objects of the five desires, one runs about in the four directions without shying away from toil; the five skandhas of this stage are collectively named grasping. Because grasping is dominant, it is designated with the name grasping. As for the difference between craving and grasping: the initial arising is called craving; when it continues and becomes stronger, it is separately established with the name grasping, because continuously grasping objects becomes increasingly firm and fierce.
