[493] **"Possessions have desire as their source" (icchānidānāni pariggahāni):** desire (icchā) is a term for craving (taṇhā) — that lust (rāga), infatuation (sārāga) … covetousness, greed, the unwholesome root. **"Possessions" (pariggahā):** there are two kinds of possession: possession through craving (taṇhāpariggaha) and possession through view (diṭṭhipariggaha) … this is possession through craving … this is possession through view. **"Possessions have desire as their source":** possessions have desire as their source (nidāna), desire as their cause, desire as their condition, desire as their reason, desire as their origin — hence, "possessions have desire as their source."
