Katamāni pañca?
What five?

Rūparāgo, arūparāgo, māno, uddhaccaṁ, avijjā—

These are the five higher fetters.

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ uddhambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya pañca balāni bhāvetabbāni.
The five powers should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these five higher fetters.
