“Bhikkhū, there are five higher fetters.

“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, uddhambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni.

What five?

Katamāni pañca?

Desire for rebirth in the realm of luminous form, desire for rebirth in the formless realm, conceit, restlessness, and ignorance.

Rūparāgo, arūparāgo, māno, uddhaccaṁ, avijjā—

These are the five higher fetters.

imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañcuddhambhāgiyāni saṁyojanāni.

The five faculties should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these five higher fetters.

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ uddhambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya pañcindriyāni bhāvetabbāni.

What five?

Katamāni pañca?

It’s when a bhikkhu develops the faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, samādhi, and wisdom, which culminate in the removal of greed, hate, and delusion.

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddhindriyaṁ bhāveti rāgavinayapariyosānaṁ dosavinayapariyosānaṁ mohavinayapariyosānaṁ. Vīriyindriyaṁ …pe… satindriyaṁ … samādhindriyaṁ … paññindriyaṁ bhāveti rāgavinayapariyosānaṁ dosavinayapariyosānaṁ mohavinayapariyosānaṁ.

These five faculties should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these five higher fetters.”

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ uddhambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya imāni pañcindriyāni bhāvetabbānī”ti.

(To be expanded as in SN 45.171–179, with the above as the final discourse, removal of greed version.)
