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.

欲贪(kāmarāga)：淫欲；爱染。欲贪是渴爱，甚至是染执，相信身体是自我，从身体的感官作用可以带来快乐，因此利用身体来追寻享受和自我满足。受这心理染污的驱使，人们主要以刺激生理官能，来解决空虚感及带来满足。如果放纵这种染执，结果将导致更强烈的染执，最终使心永远饥渴无法满足。
