the 7: s. dhana (q.v.).
”clinging”, according to Vis.M. XVII, is an intensified degree of craving (tanha^, q.v.). The 4 kinds of clinging are: sensuous clinging (ka^mupa^da^na), clinging to views (ditthupa^da^na), clinging to mere rules and ritual (si^labbatupa^da^na), clinging to the personaljty-belief (atta-va^dupa^da^na).
(1) "What now is the sensuous clinging? Whatever with regard to sensuous objects there exists of sensuous lust, sensuous desire, sensuous attachment, sensuous passion, sensuous deludedness, sensuous fetters: this is called sensuous clinging.
(2) ””What is the clinging to views? ”Alms and offerings are useless; there is no fruit and result for good and bad deeds: all such view and wrong conceptions are called the clinging to views.
(3) "What is the clinging to mere rules and ritual? The holding firmly to the view that through mere rules and ritual one may reach purification: this is called the clinging to mere rules and ritual.
(4) "What is the clinging to the personality-belief? The 20 kinds of ego-views with regard to the groups of existence (s. sakka^ya-ditthi): these are called the clinging to the personality-belief" (Dhs. 1214-17).
This traditional fourfold division of clinging is not quite satisfactory. Besides kamupa^da^na we should expect either rúpupa^da^na and arúpupa^da^na, or simply bhavupa^da^na. Though the Ana^ga^mi^ is entirely free from the traditional 4 kinds of upa^da^na, he is not freed from rebirth, as he still possesses bhavupa^da^na. The Com. to Vis.M. XVII, in trying to get out of this dilemma, explains ka^mupa^da^na as including here all the remaining kinds of clinging.
