Which ten?

Five lower fetters and
five higher fetters.

And which are the five lower fetters?

Self-identification views,
uncertainty,
grasping at habits and practices,
sensual desire, and
ill will.

These are the five lower fetters.

And which are the five higher fetters?

Passion for form,
passion for what is formless,
conceit,
restlessness, and
ignorance.

These are the five higher fetters.

And these are the ten fetters."
