At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

“Mendicants, when what exists, because of grasping what and insisting on what, do fetters, insistence, and shackles arise?” “Kismiṁ nu kho, bhikkhave, sati, kiṁ upādāya, kiṁ abhinivissa uppajjanti saṁyojanābhinivesavinibandhā”ti?

“Our teachings are rooted in the Buddha. …” Bhagavaṁmūlakā no, bhante, dhammā …pe…

“When form exists, because of grasping form and insisting on form, fetters, insistence, and shackles arise. “rūpe kho, bhikkhave, sati, rūpaṁ upādāya, rūpaṁ abhinivissa uppajjanti saṁyojanābhinivesavinibandhā. When feeling … Vedanāya sati … perception … saññāya sati … choices … saṅkhāresu sati … consciousness exists, because of grasping consciousness and insisting on consciousness, fetters, insistence, and shackles arise. viññāṇe sati, viññāṇaṁ upādāya, viññāṇaṁ abhinivissa uppajjanti saṁyojanābhinivesavinibandhā.

What do you think, mendicants? Taṁ kiṁ maññatha, bhikkhave, Is form permanent or impermanent?” rūpaṁ niccaṁ vā aniccaṁ vā”ti?

“Impermanent, sir.” … “Aniccaṁ, bhante”.

“Yaṁ panāniccaṁ …pe… “But by not grasping what’s impermanent, suffering, and perishable, would fetters, insistence, and shackles arise?” api nu taṁ anupādāya uppajjeyyuṁ saṁyojanābhinivesavinibandhā”ti?

“No, sir.” … “No hetaṁ, bhante” …pe…

“Seeing this … “evaṁ passaṁ …pe… They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’” nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānātī”ti.
