成唯識論述記 8.453

8.453

述曰：若生有芽，必數溉灌，如灌田等。今者且依愛之初、後分愛、取二，其實有多現行愛惑。《十地》第八經云：愛增名取。故初名愛後名取也，發業之義不可重發，立一無明，如一芽生不可再生，水沃潤時，可言得數。問：前出取體通餘煩惱，何故此處及十地等，說是愛增？

The Commentary states: If a sprout of existence is to arise, it must be repeatedly watered, just as in irrigating a field. Here, provisionally based on the earlier and later stages of craving, it is divided into the two: craving and grasping; in fact, there are many active afflictions of craving. The eighth fascicle of the *Daśabhūmika-sūtra* states: "The increase of craving is named grasping." Thus, the initial is named craving and the later is named grasping. The function of initiating karma cannot be repeated, so a single ignorance is established, just as when a single sprout arises it cannot arise again; but when water waters and moistens, it can be said to occur repeatedly. Question: Earlier it was stated that the essence of grasping includes the remaining afflictions; why is it said here and in the *Daśabhūmika*, etc., to be the increase of craving?
