kãmarãga: Sexual desire; lust. Predicated on a belief that the body is oneself and that happiness can be achieved for oneself through bodily sensations, kãmarãga is the desire, even craving, to seek pleasure and self-gratification by means of the physical body. With this mental defilement as the driving force, people attempt to overcome discontent and find fulfillment using physical stimulation as the primary means. If such craving is allowed a free rein, it easily becomes a preoccupation that gives rise to even more craving, leaving the heart forever hungry and dissatisfied.

　　欲貪(kāmarāga)：淫欲；愛染。欲貪是渴愛，甚至是染執，相信身體是自我，從身體的感官作用可以帶來快樂，因此利用身體來追尋享受和自我滿足。受這心理染汙的驅使，人們主要以刺激生理官能，來解決空虛感及帶來滿足。如果放縱這種染執，結果將導致更強烈的染執，最終使心永遠饑渴無法滿足。
