[686] **"Having released the ties, the sage here in the world"** — "ties" (ganthā): there are four ties: the bodily tie of covetousness (abhijjhā kāyagantha), the bodily tie of ill will (byāpāda kāyagantha), the bodily tie of grasping at precepts and observances (sīlabbataparāmāsa kāyagantha), and the bodily tie of dogmatic insistence that "this alone is true" (idaṃsaccābhinivesa kāyagantha). Lust for one's own view (diṭṭhi) is the bodily tie of covetousness. Resentment and displeasure toward the doctrines of others is the bodily tie of ill will. One grasps at one's own virtue, or vow, or virtue-and-vow: this is the bodily tie of grasping at precepts and observances. One's own view is the bodily tie of dogmatic insistence that "this alone is true."
"Having released": having relinquished the ties, one has released them. Or else: having loosened from their bondage the ties that are knotted, tied, bound, bound about, fastened, attached, stuck fast, and obstructed, one has released them. Just as people take a palanquin, a chariot, a cart, or a carriage that has been assembled and make it disassembled — they take it apart — even so, having relinquished the ties, one has released them; or else, having loosened from their bondage the ties that are knotted, tied, bound, bound about, fastened, attached, stuck fast, and obstructed, one has released them.
"Sage (muni)": sagehood (mona) is called knowledge (ñāṇa) — that wisdom which is understanding … having gone beyond attachment and the net, he is a sage. "Here": in this view … in this human world. Hence: "Having released the ties, the sage here in the world."
