1.1PTS 5.241“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, uddhambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni.“Mendicants, there are five higher fetters.1.2Katamāni pañca?What five?1.3Rūparāgo, arūparāgo, māno, uddhaccaṁ, avijjā—Desire for rebirth in the realm of luminous form, desire for rebirth in the formless realm, conceit, restlessness, and ignorance.1.4imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañcuddhambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni.These are the five higher fetters.

1.5Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ uddhambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya pañcindriyāni bhāvetabbāni.The five faculties should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these five higher fetters.1.6Katamāni pañca?What five?1.7Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddhindriyaṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ …pe… paññindriyaṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ.It’s when a mendicant develops the faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom, which rely on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripen as letting go.
