The saṃyojanas are the fetters binding beings to rebirth: self-view, doubt, clinging to rites, sensual desire, ill will, desire for form-existence, desire for formless existence, conceit, restlessness and ignorance. The first five are lower fetters, cut by the non-returner; the last five higher ones are cut by the arahant.
Ten fetters
The ten bonds, from self-view to ignorance, whose cutting marks the stages of awakening.
