Tainted (Skt. sāsrava; Tib. ཟག་བཅས་ zakché, Wyl. zag bcas) — all conditioned phenomena, with the exception of the truth of the path, are said to be 'tainted', in the sense that 'taints' or destructive emotions can develop in relation to them, which will result in further samsaric existence. Hence, in the Four Seals, it is said, "All that is tainted is suffering."

Vasubandhu says in his Treasury of Abhidharma:

Tainted and untainted phenomena:

Except the truth of path, conditioned things

Are tainted since taints

Can develop in relation to them.
