Bondage sutra (AN 10.13)
Bhikkhu Bodhi (trans.) edited by Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly, from "The Book of the Tens," Numerical Discourses of the Buddha (Aṅguttara Nikāya, 10.13) "Fetters" (via suttacentral.net)
Craving and ignorance are the roots of suffering.
“Meditators, there are ten bonds. What are the ten? They are the five lower and the five higher bonds. Now, what are the five lower bonds?
  1. “Self-view (the view of a separate personal existence),
  2. doubt,
  3. clinging to (wrong grasp of) vows and observances,
  4. sensual craving, and
  5. ill will.
“These are the five lower bonds.

“Now, what are the five higher bonds?
  1. Lust for form,
  2. lust for the formless,
  3. conceit [the habit of self-view],
  4. restlessness, and
  5. ignorance.
“These are the five higher bonds. These, meditators, are the ten bonds.”
