Also means "grasping" or "clinging;" but has a particular meaning as the ninth of the twelve links of dependent arising, between craving (tṛṣṇā, {sred pa}) and becoming or existence (bhava, {srid pa}). In some texts, four types of appropriation are listed: of desire (rāga), of view (dṛṣṭi), of rules and observances as paramount (śīlavrataparāmarśa), and of belief in a self (ātmavāda). Only the first three are mentioned in this sūtra.
