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.
What seven?
The fetters of complying,
resisting,
view,
uncertainty,
conceit,
envy
and meanness.
Verily, monks, these are the seven.'
