[156] **The skilled also call that a tie (gantha):** "The skilled" means those who are skilled in the aggregates (khandha), skilled in the elements (dhātu), skilled in the sense bases (āyatana), skilled in dependent origination (paṭiccasamuppāda), skilled in the establishments of mindfulness (satipaṭṭhāna), skilled in the right exertions (sammappadhāna), skilled in the bases of spiritual power (iddhipāda), skilled in the faculties (indriya), skilled in the powers (bala), skilled in the factors of awakening (bojjhaṅga), skilled in the path, skilled in fruition (phala), skilled in Nibbāna. Those skilled ones speak thus: "This is a tie, this is a hanging-on (lambana), this is a bond (bandhana), this is an impediment (palibodha)" — thus they speak, thus they tell, thus they utter, thus they explain, thus they express. Hence, "The skilled also call that a tie."
