Giving Up

“Sattannaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁyojanānaṁ pahānāya samucchedāya brahmacariyaṁ vussati.
“Mendicants, the spiritual life is lived to give up and cut out these seven fetters.

Katamesaṁ sattannaṁ?
What seven?

Anunayasaṁyojanassa pahānāya samucchedāya brahmacariyaṁ vussati, paṭighasaṁyojanassa …pe…
The fetters of attraction, repulsion, views, doubt, conceit, desire to be reborn, and ignorance.

diṭṭhisaṁyojanassa …

vicikicchāsaṁyojanassa …

mānasaṁyojanassa …

bhavarāgasaṁyojanassa …

avijjāsaṁyojanassa pahānāya samucchedāya brahmacariyaṁ vussati.

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, sattannaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ pahānāya samucchedāya brahmacariyaṁ vussati.
The spiritual life is lived to give up and cut out these seven fetters.

Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno anunayasaṁyojanaṁ pahīnaṁ hoti ucchinnamūlaṁ tālāvatthukataṁ anabhāvaṅkataṁ āyatiṁ anuppādadhammaṁ.
When a mendicant has given up the fetters of attraction, repulsion, views, doubt, conceit, desire to be reborn, and ignorance—cut them off at the root, made them like a palm stump, obliterated them, so they are unable to arise in the future—

Paṭighasaṁyojanaṁ …pe…

diṭṭhisaṁyojanaṁ …

vicikicchāsaṁyojanaṁ …

mānasaṁyojanaṁ …

bhavarāgasaṁyojanaṁ …

avijjāsaṁyojanaṁ pahīnaṁ hoti ucchinnamūlaṁ tālāvatthukataṁ anabhāvaṅkataṁ āyatiṁ anuppādadhammaṁ.

Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, bhikkhu acchecchi taṇhaṁ, vivattayi saṁyojanaṁ, sammā mānābhisamayā antamakāsi dukkhassā”ti.
they’re called a mendicant who has cut off craving, untied the fetters, and by rightly comprehending conceit has made an end of suffering.”

Navamaṁ.
