"I bow my head to the one who can sever all fetters; / I bow my head to the one who has already reached the other shore." Below is the praise of the virtue of eradication. The two vehicles sever them for themselves; the Great Sage also delivers others. This first clarifies severing the fetters for himself. 'Fetters' refers to the nine fetters: craving, hostility, conceit, ignorance, and doubt are the five dull drivers; the fetter of views refers to the three views of personal identity, extreme views, and wrong views; the fetter of attachment refers to the attachment to precepts and to views. These two fetters are the five sharp drivers. The fetter of stinginess and the fetter of jealousy are two of the ten entanglements. 'Bonds' refers to the four bonds: the bond of sensual desire, the bond of ill will, the bond of clinging to rules and vows, and the bond of clinging to views. They are also called the three bonds of greed, anger, and delusion. Furthermore, when in a single thought one grasps at marks and is suddenly confused about the true principle, the ten thousand delusions arise in succession—all of these are called fetters and bonds. That is, all afflictions are called fetters, and all are called bonds.
