'jig tshogs la lta ba

First of the three fetters; also third of the five fetters associated with the lower realms, which concerns the superimposition of the notion of self upon the five psycho-physical aggregates.
false view about perishable composites

The construction of personal identity in relation to the five aggregates.

The Tibetan is literally "the view of the destructible accumulation," and the Sanskrit is "the view of the existing body." They mean the view that identifies the existence of a self in relation to the skandhas.
believe in the existence of a self

This consists of twenty varieties of false notion, consisting basically of regarding the temporally impermanent and ultimately insubstantial as "I" or "mine." The five compulsive aggregates are paired with the self, giving the twenty false notions. For example, the first four false notions are that (1) matter is the self, which is like its owner (rūpaṃ ātmā svāmivat); (2) the self possesses matter, like its ornament (rūpavañ ātmā alaņkāravat); (3) matter belongs to the self, like a slave (ātmīyaṃ rūpaṃ bhṛtyavat); and (4) the self dwells in matter as in a vessel (rūpe ātmā bhajanavat). The other four compulsive aggregates are paired with the self in the same four ways, giving sixteen more false notions concerning sensation, intellect, motivation, and consciousness, hypostatizing an impossible relationship with a nonexistent, permanent, substantial self.
