The Commentary states: From here on is the second gate. Explaining the six as six, each having two parts: first, identifying its substance and activity; later, resolving difficulties. 'What is' and so forth poses a double inquiry into substance and activity. 'Toward existence and the requisites of existence' and so forth provides a double answer. Where there are difficulties, the treatise verifies them again. 'Toward existence' refers to future existence, that is, exclusively the fruit of maturation in the three existences. 'Requisites of existence' refers to the intermediate existence, along with defilements, karma, the receptacle world, and so on, because they are requisites of the three existences. Or, untainted dharmas: the text below says that when conjoined with views and so forth, arising with untainted dharmas as objects, greed produced with them as conditions is all called requisites of existence. The Sarvāstivādin masters hold that greed targeting untainted dharmas is desire for wholesome dharmas. Now the Mahāyāna states that love for the Buddha and craving for cessation are both subsumed under the defiled, arising conjoined with views and taking untainted dharmas as objects; hence, because untainted dharmas can nourish and foster existence, they are also called requisites of existence. That fascicle fifty-eight and others do not state that this greed takes untainted dharmas as objects will be reconciled below in the text.
