'fetters'.
 
 
 
There are 10 fetters tying beings to the wheel of existence, namely:
 
 
 
*    (1) personality-belief (sakkāya-ditthi)
 
*    (2) sceptical doubt (vicikicchā)
 
*    (3) clinging to mere rules and ritual (sīlabbata-parāmāsa; s. upādāna)
 
*    (4) sensuous craving (kāma-rāga)
 
*    (5) ill-will (vyāpāda)
 
*    (6) craving for fine-material existence (rūpa-rāga)
 
*    (7) craving for immaterial existence (arūpa-rāga)
 
*    (8) conceit (māna)
 
*    (9) restlessness (uddhacca)
 
*    (10) ignorance (avijjā)
 
 
 
The first five of these are called 'lower fetters' (orambhāgiya-samyojana), as they tie to the sensuous world. The latter 5 are called 'higher fetters' (uddhambhāgiya-samyojana), as they tie to the higher worlds, i.e. the fine-material and immaterial world (A.IX.67-68; A.X.13; D.33, etc.).
 
 
 
*    He who is free from 1-3 is a Sotāpanna, or Stream-winner, i.e. one who has entered the stream to Nibbāna, as it were.
 
*    He who, besides these 3 fetters, has overcome 4 and 5 in their grosser form, is called a Sakadāgāmi, a 'Once-returner' (to this sensuous world).
 
*    He who is fully freed from 1-5 is an Anāgāmī, or 'Non-returner' (to the sensuous world).
 
*    He who is freed from all the 10 fetters is called an Arahat, i.e. a perfectly Holy One.
 
 
 
For more details, s. ariya-puggala.
