'ties'. "There are 4 ties:

• the bodily tie (kāyagantha)

• of covetousness (abhijjhā),

• of ill-will (vyāpāda),

• of clinging to rule and ritual (sīlabbata-parāmāsa),

• of dogmatical fanaticism (idamsaccābhinivesa)" (D.33). -

"These things are ties, since they tie this mental and material body" (Vis.M. XXII, 54).
