28. ’du ba. The Sanskrit term is likely saṃyojana or saṃyoga. Kumārajīva translates the term in the technical sense of jieshi 結使 (Taishō 464 XIV 483b4) or “binding.” The term jieshi is known to have been used as an equivalent for saṃyojana. See Ogiwara 2003, s.v. “saṃyojana.” For saṃyojana as a technical term that is used to describe kleśa, see Abhidharmakośa 5.41–5.45 and its bhāṣya. For all the uses of the terms saṃyojana and saṃyoga in the Abhidharma­kośabhāṣya along with its Tibetan and Chinese translations, see Hirakawa 1973, s.v. “saṃyojana,” “saṃyoga.” Other Chinese translations adopt the general senses of “correspondence” (xiangying 相應, Taishō 465 XIV 486a23 and Taishō 467 XIV 491c23) and “conjunction” (hehe 和合, Taishō 466 XIV 489a15). Vasubandhu’s Gayāśīrṣa­sūtra­vyākhyāna explains that this item involves “investigation into matters associated with advantages and disadvantages” (don dang don ma yin pa dang ldan pa la rtog pa).
