kāmaḥ

ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते

kāmaḥ — desire

Dwelling on things, a person becomes attached to them. From attachment, desire is born. From desire, anger.

आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत्

kāmāḥ — desires

As rivers enter the ocean, which is filled and yet unmoved at its foundation, so all desires enter the one who is at peace.

काम एष क्रोध एष रजोगुणसमुद्भवः

kāmaḥ — desire

It is desire, it is anger, born of the strand of restlessness — all-devouring, deeply harmful. Know this as the enemy here.

बलं बलवतां चाहं कामरागविवर्जितम्

kāma — desire

I am the strength of the strong, free of desire and craving. I am the desire in beings that does not go against what is right.

निर्मानमोहा जितसङ्गदोषा अध्यात्मनित्या विनिवृत्तकामाः

kāmāḥ — desire to enjoy senses

Free of vanity and delusion, having overcome the fault of attachment, constant in the self, free of longing, released from the opposites of pleasure and pain — such undeluded ones reach that unchanging place.

त्रिविधं नरकस्येदं द्वारं नाशनमात्मनः

kāmaḥ — lust

Desire, anger and greed — these are the three gates to what destroys the self. Give them up.
