Katamāni pañca?
What five?

Rūparāgo, arūparāgo, māno, uddhaccaṁ, avijjā—
Desire for rebirth in the realm of luminous form, desire for rebirth in the formless realm, conceit, restlessness, and ignorance.

imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañcuddhambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni.
These are the five higher fetters.

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ uddhambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ pahānāya …pe… ime cattāro satipaṭṭhānā bhāvetabbā”ti.
To give up these five higher fetters you should develop the four kinds of mindfulness meditation. …”
