Navasaṃyojana (नवसंयोजन) refers to the “nine bonds to existence”.—The term saṃyojana is usually translated as “fetter,” but these nine do not correspond to the standard list of fetters (e.g, ten fetters, five lower fetters, three fetters).

The nine bonds to existence (navasaṃyojana) are:

  1. attachment (anunaya),
  2. aversion (pratigha),
  3. conceit (māna),
  4. ignorance (avidyā),
  5. views (dṛṣti),
  6. clinging (parāmarśa),
  7. doubt (vicikitsā),
  8. envy (īrṣyā), and
  9. avarice (mātsarya).
