Aṅguttara Nikāya - The Numerical Discourses

10: The Book of the Tens

13. Fetters

1"Bhikkhus, there are these ten fetters. What ten? The five lower fetters and the five higher fetters. And what are the five lower fetters? Personal-existence view, doubt, wrong grasp of behavior and observances, sensual desire, and ill will. These are the five lower fetters.

1"Dasayimāni, bhikkhave, saṁyojanāni. Katamāni dasa? Pañcorambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni, pañcuddhambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni. Katamāni pañcorambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni? Sakkāyadiṭṭhi, vicikicchā, sīlabbataparāmāso, kāmacchando, byāpādo – imāni pañcorambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni.

2And what are the five higher fetters? Lust for form, lust for the formless, conceit, restlessness, and ignorance. These are the five higher fetters. These, bhikkhus, are the ten fetters."

2Katamāni pañcuddhambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni? Rūparāgo, arūparāgo, māno, uddhaccaṁ, avijjā – imāni pañcuddhambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni. Imāni kho, bhikkhave, dasa saṁyojanānī"ti.

Tatiyaṁ.
