鞞婆沙四縛受處第六
四縛者，欲愛身縛、瞋恚身縛、戒盜身縛、我見身縛。
問曰：四縛有何性？
答曰：欲愛身縛欲界愛五種，瞋恚身縛恚五種，戒盜身縛三界六種，我見身縛三界十二種。此二十八是四縛性，此縛性已種相身所有自然。說性已，當說行。何以故說縛？縛有何義？
答曰：束義是縛義、連續義是縛義。束義是縛義者，如彼《施設》所說。此無明未盡未知已，彼彼身彼彼依彼彼得已，身亦是因亦是緣，束而束遍束、連續相連續。如巧鬘師鬘師弟子，繩長綖已結作種種鬘。彼綖於彼華，亦是因亦是緣，結而結遍結、連續相連續。如是此無明未盡未知已，彼彼身彼彼依彼彼得已，身亦是因亦是緣，束而束遍束、連續相連續。是故說束義是縛義、連續義是縛義。相連續是縛義者，如彼契經說：當爾時香食(中陰也)，二心中必有一：或愛相應、或恚相應。是故說連續義是縛義。
Answer: Bondage means binding, bondage means continuity. Binding means bondage: as stated in that *Upadeśa*. Before ignorance is ended and known, when one clings to this or that body, this or that support, the body itself is both cause and condition—binding, thoroughly binding, binding continuously, connecting continuously. Like a skilled garland maker or his apprentice, with a long thread they bind flowers to create various garlands. That thread is both cause and condition for those flowers—binding, thoroughly binding, binding continuously, connecting continuously. Likewise, before ignorance is ended and known, when one clings to this or that body, this or that support, the body itself is both cause and condition—binding, thoroughly binding, binding continuously, connecting continuously. Therefore it is said: bondage means binding, bondage means continuity. Continuity means bondage: as stated in that *Sūtra*: At the time when the being feeds on incense (the intermediate state), one of two mental states arises: either aversion or craving. Therefore it is said: continuity means bondage.

問曰：若此眾生生死中束而束遍束是縛義者，一切結亦爾，眾生生死中束而束遍束。何以故立四縛不立餘？
答曰：是世尊餘言略言、欲令行言，世尊為教化故。或曰：為人故、為眷屬故、為器故、為教化故。尊者瞿沙說曰：世尊於法真諦，餘真無能過。彼盡知法相盡知行，若有縛相立縛中，無縛相不立縛中。或曰：謂極縛三界眾生。欲愛身縛、瞋恚身縛極縛欲界眾生，戒盜身縛、我見身縛極縛三界眾生。或曰：謂二事極縛白衣及學道者。欲愛身縛、瞋恚身縛極縛白衣，戒盜身縛、我見身縛極縛學道者。如白衣及學道，如出家及不出家、捨家妻子及不捨家妻子、有家無家、有畜財寶不畜財寶，盡當知。或曰：謂能起二諍，一者婬欲故諍、二者見欲故諍。如彼契經：持澡罐杖梵志至尊者迦栴延所，而問迦栴延：何因何緣王王共諍、梵志梵志共諍、居士居士共諍、縣縣共諍、國國共諍？答曰：此，梵志！因婬欲著故，令此王王共諍、梵志梵志共諍、居士居士共諍、縣縣共諍、國國共諍。重問曰：迦旃延！此沙門亦無家無所守、不畜財寶。迦栴延！何因何緣沙門沙門共諍？答曰：見欲著故，此，梵志！沙門沙門共諍。謂彼能起二諍，一者婬欲、二者見欲，以故爾。如諍，如是二邊、二箭、二轉、二戲，盡當知。以是故立四縛不立餘。廣說四縛處盡。
