The Commentary states: The seeds of the two emotional graspings are called those 'two graspings'. What is the meaning of 'anuśaya'? They follow along with sentient beings, constantly in birth-and-death, sleeping and lying dormant in the ālayavijñāna without manifesting elsewhere; hence they are named anuśaya. Alternatively, because they continuously augment faults, they are named anuśaya; they follow along with sentient beings and abundantly augment faults, hence they are named anuśaya. Why does 'sleeping' carry the meaning of augmentation? Just as when a person indulges in sleep, sleep proliferates, so the augmentation of faults is the meaning of anuśaya. The former establishes the name according to its own nature, while the latter takes the metaphor as its reason, differing from the Sarvāstivādins as in the Separate Notes; these are the seeds of the two obstacles.
