These are the five higher fetters. The seven awakening factors should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these five higher fetters.

> Pali: nibbānaninnaṁ nibbānapoṇaṁ nibbānapabbhāraṁ.

[¶9] The seven awakening factors should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these five higher fetters.”

> Pali: Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu pañcannaṁ uddhambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya ime satta bojjhaṅgā bhāvetabbā”ti.
