However, that which is stated here—that craving directed toward the four grasping is the limb of grasping—is the same as in the Daśabhūmika-sūtra. That [sūtra] states: 'The intensification of craving is called grasping.' The Cheng weishi lun states: 'At the stage of moistening karma, the force of craving is particularly increased; craving is spoken of as like water that can moisten, and only with repeated irrigations can the sprout of existence be born. For the moment, grasping and craving are distinguished based on earlier and later [phases]. Although the limb of grasping encompasses all afflictions, the moistening by craving is superior, so it is said that this is the intensification of craving.' Thus, the passages of both do not contradict each other. Both the two limbs of craving and grasping apply to manifest activity and seeds, as both can moisten, and craving forms a cause-condition with respect to grasping. (Jing says:) 'Those who seek through wrong aspiration' means seeking a body in the higher realms, taking it to be nirvāṇa, and undertaking ascetic rules; this is called wrong aspiration. Arising craving toward such rules is called grasping at rules and observances (śīlavrataparāmarśa). This text directly demonstrates that craving constitutes the four grasps.
