[740] Therein, what is the bodily tie of dogmatic adherence, "This alone is truth" (idaṃsaccābhinivesa kāyagantha)?
"The world is eternal — this alone is truth, anything else is vain"; or "The world is not eternal — this alone is truth, anything else is vain"; or "The world is finite — this alone is truth, anything else is vain"; or "The world is infinite — this alone is truth, anything else is vain"; or "The soul (jīva) is the same as the body — this alone is truth, anything else is vain"; or "The soul is one thing, the body another — this alone is truth, anything else is vain"; or "The Tathāgata exists after death — this alone is truth, anything else is vain"; or "The Tathāgata does not exist after death — this alone is truth, anything else is vain"; or "The Tathāgata both exists and does not exist after death — this alone is truth, anything else is vain"; or "The Tathāgata neither exists nor does not exist after death — this alone is truth, anything else is vain": whatever view there is of such a kind — the resort to views, the thicket of views, the wilderness of views, the contortion of views, the vacillation of views, the fetter of views (diṭṭhisaṃyojana); grasping, tenacious grasping, adherence, misapprehension; a bad road, a wrong path, wrongness; the grounds of sectarian tenets (titthāyatana), the inverted grasp — this is called the bodily tie of dogmatic adherence, "This alone is truth."
Excepting the bodily tie of adherence to rules and rituals (sīlabbataparāmāsa kāyagantha), all wrong view (micchādiṭṭhi) whatsoever is the bodily tie of dogmatic adherence, "This alone is truth."
These phenomena (dhammā) are ties.
