“Bhikkhū, there are these four kinds of grasping.

“Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, upādānāni.

What four?

Katamāni cattāri?

Grasping at sensual pleasures, views, precepts and observances, and theories of a self.

Kāmupādānaṁ, diṭṭhupādānaṁ, sīlabbatupādānaṁ, attavādupādānaṁ—

These are the four kinds of grasping.

imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri upādānāni.

The noble eightfold path should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these four kinds of grasping.”

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, catunnaṁ upādānānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya …pe… ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo bhāvetabbo”ti.
