[677] Setting at Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, there are these five higher fetters (uddhambhāgiyāni saṃyojanāni). What five? Lust for form (rūparāga), lust for the formless (arūparāga), conceit (māna), restlessness (uddhacca), and ignorance (avijjā). These, bhikkhus, are the five higher fetters. For the direct knowledge (abhiññā), for the full understanding (pariññā), for the utter destruction, and for the abandoning of these five higher fetters, the seven factors of awakening (bojjhaṅga) are to be developed. What seven? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu develops the awakening factor of mindfulness dependent on seclusion (viveka), dependent on dispassion (virāga), dependent on cessation (nirodha), maturing in release (vossagga) … he develops the awakening factor of equanimity culminating in the removal of lust, culminating in the removal of hatred, culminating in the removal of delusion, merging in the Deathless (amata), having the Deathless as its destination, having the Deathless as its culmination, slanting toward Nibbāna, sloping toward Nibbāna, inclining toward Nibbāna. Bhikkhus, for the direct knowledge, for the full understanding, for the utter destruction, and for the abandoning of these five higher fetters, these seven factors of awakening are to be developed."
(Summary verse:)
The flood, the yoke, clinging,
the knots, and with the underlying tendency;
the strands of sensual pleasure, the hindrances (nīvaraṇa),
the aggregates, and the higher [fetters].
The Ogha Chapter, the Thirteenth.
Six slant toward the east,
and six slant toward the ocean;
those two [sets of] six make twelve —
hence it is called a chapter.
(The Gaṅgā Repetition Series of the Bojjhaṅgasaṃyutta should be expanded by way of lust.)
The Fourteenth Chapter.

(The Chapter on Diligence should be expanded by way of lust.) The Fifteenth.
Strength, the seed, and the nāga,
the tree, with the pot, the awn;

the ship, the guests, the river.
(The Chapter on Deeds Requiring Strength of the Bojjhaṅgasaṃyutta should be expanded by way of lust.) The Sixteenth.
Searches, discriminations, the taint (āsava),
and existence, the three kinds of suffering;

feeling (vedanā), and with craving (taṇhā).
The Esanā Chapter of the Bojjhaṅgasaṃyutta, the Seventeenth.
The flood, the yoke, clinging,
the knots, and with the underlying tendency;
the strands of sensual pleasure, the hindrances,
the aggregates, and the higher [fetters].
