The Buddha's Path of Virtue

Note 4 — Glory to Him, the Blessed Saint, the All-Enlightened one.

F. L. (Frank Lee) Woodward translation

I. The first five fetters of delusion of self, doubt, ceremonial observance, lust and ill-will.

II. The second five fetters of desire for form, desire for the formless, pride, vanity and ignorance.

III. If the verb of the third clause, vuttaribhāvaye, be translated "pay attention to," as is possible, the meaning will be, "develop the five good qualities of faith, zeal, concentration, meditation, wisdom."

IV. This may refer to the second five fetters, by throwing off which one becomes an Arahat.
