At one time several senior mendicants were staying near Macchikāsaṇḍa in the Wild Mango Grove.

Now at that time, after the meal, on return from almsround, several senior mendicants sat together in the pavilion and this discussion came up among them:

“Reverends, the ‘fetter’ and the ‘things that tighten the fetters’: do these things differ in both meaning and phrasing? Or do they mean the same thing, and differ only in the phrasing?”

Some senior mendicants answered like this:

But some senior mendicants answered like this:
