[431] **Seeing them attached to grasping (ādānasatte iti pekkhamāno):** "attached to grasping (ādānasatta)" is said of those who take up, cling to, seize, adhere to, and hold fast to form; who take up, cling to, seize, adhere to, and hold fast to feeling (vedanā), perception, volitional formations, consciousness, destination (gati), rearising (upapatti), rebirth-linking (paṭisandhi), existence (bhava), the round of rebirths (saṃsāra), and the cycle (vaṭṭa). **Iti** is a connective of words … this word **iti** follows the sequence of the words. **Seeing (pekkhamāno):** seeing, beholding, looking upon, observing, gazing upon, examining — thus, "seeing them attached to grasping."
