4 Four Ganthas (Four Ties)
‘Gantha’ means ‘a tie’ or ‘a bond’. The four ganthas are the strong
bonds which tie the groups of råpa and nàma of this existence
to those of future existences.
In the following names of ganthas, ‘kàya’ is used in the sense
of group or mass implying both mental and physical.

lobha present in the 8 lobha-måla cittas.
2 Vyàpada-kàyagantha – all forms of anger or illwill.
It is dosa present in the 2 dosa-måla cittas.
3 Silabbataparàmàsa-kàyagantha – adherence to the false
view that one becomes pure and thus be liberated by
bovine and canine morality or conduct; it also includes
adherence to rites and ceremonies; it is diññhi present
in the 4 lobha-måla diññhi-sampayutta cittas.
4 Idaüsaccàbhinivesa-kàyagantha – dogmatic belief that only
one’s view is true and all the others are futile or that
‘this alone is truth’. It is also diññhi present in the 4 lobhamåla
diññhi-sampayutta cittas.
