Source: Google Books: Abhidharmakosa-Bhasya of VasubandhuKāmāsrava (कामास्रव) refers to the “desire flux” and represents one of the three fluxes (āsrava), according to Dharmaśrī’s Abhidharmahṛdaya 86 and the Saṃyuktābhidharmahṛdaya 196, 200-3.—The ninety-eight proclivities (anuśaya) with the ten envelopments (paryavasthāna) constitute, according to the sūtra: [e.g., the desire flux (kāmāsrava)] [...].—Accordingly, “The defilements of the realm of desire, with the exception of the five ignorances, plus the ten envelopments (v. 47) make up forty-one(= 36 - 5 + 10) real entities (dravya); this is the desire flux (kāmāsrava)”.
