The reason the ninety-eight anuśayas are distinguished next after the ten anuśayas is precisely that the delusive obstacles of the two paths of seeing and reflection are distinct. Wishing to cause practitioners of contemplation to precisely identify the delusions to be treated so that their abandonment and suppression are free of confusion, the scriptural gate traverses the three realms and five categories, finely differentiating the ten anuśayas, which then amount to ninety-eight. They are also called the ninety-eight afflictions; collectively they are termed anuśayas. Calling them afflictions is analogous to the previous explanation. If one is free from the ninety-eight anuśayas, one transcends all afflictions. Here we clarify the ninety-eight anuśayas according to the Sarvāstivāda masters. If according to the *Tattvasiddhi* masters, their explanation differs.
