Following this, the items of the various afflictions should be set forth extensively, namely the three outflows, the four floods, the four bonds, the eight perversions, the eight inversions, the nine fetters, the nine vexations, the ten entanglements, and up to the five hundred afflictions, the eighty-four thousand gates of defilement, and the afflictions equal in number to the sands of the Ganges, all of which are distinguished from the division and combination of the ninety-eight anuśayas of views and craving. If one were to fully set forth their headings (and so forth). Now a few headings are briefly presented, sufficient to reveal the methods by which the scriptural gates clarify the division, combination, delusive obstruction, and rebirth-moistening nature of the afflictions. The items of the various afflictions will be set forth separately according to their importance in the sixth fascicle.
