This explains one's own continuity. Furthermore, it can give rise to afflictions that moisturize karma and sustain saṃsāra, thereby causing the continuity of other [rebirths]; hence the text below says: "maintaining suffering and pleasure," and so on. Therefore it says, "it produces... uninterrupted."
