Once the Exalted One was dwelling near Sāvatthī,
at Jeta Grove, in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park;
and there he addressed the monks, saying:
"Monks."
'Yes, lord,' they replied;
and the Exalted One said:
"Monks, seven are these fetters.[1]
What seven?
The fetters of complying,
resisting,
view,
uncertainty,
conceit,
worldly lusts
and ignorance.
Verily, monks, these are the seven.'
[1] D. iii, 254; DhS. trsl. 297-301.
