[424] **"Ties are not found in him"** (ganthā tassa na vijjanti): **"Ties" (ganthā)** — there are four ties: covetousness (abhijjhā) as a bodily tie (kāyagantha), ill will (byāpāda) as a bodily tie, adherence to rules and observances (sīlabbataparāmāsa) as a bodily tie, and dogmatic insistence "this is true" (idaṃsaccābhinivesa) as a bodily tie.
Lust for one's own view is covetousness, a bodily tie. Resentment and displeasure at the doctrines of others is ill will, a bodily tie. One misapprehends one's own rule, or observance, or rule-and-observance: this is adherence to rules and observances, a bodily tie. One's own view is the dogmatic insistence "this is true," a bodily tie.
**"Him" (tassa)**: the Arahant whose taints (āsava) are destroyed.
**"Ties are not found in him"**: ties do not exist for him, are not present, are not discovered, are not obtained; they have been abandoned, cut off, stilled, calmed, rendered incapable of arising again, burned by the fire of knowledge (ñāṇa). Therefore, "ties are not found in him."
