Lobha is a Sanskrit and Pali word—often translated as "lust," "desire," "craving," "greed"—which has different meanings depending on the context.
In Hinduism, lobha (Sanskrit: लोभ) (Burmese: လောဘ) is the concept of character affliction that refers to any form of "sensuality, lust, desire" or "attachment to sensual objects".[1][2][3] It is one of the five kleshas that afflict the Ātman.[4] It is one of the Shadripurs.[5]
In Buddhism, lobha (Pāli), synonymous with taṇhā and rāga,[6] refers to the concept of "craving" or "greed" that is a mental factor in the form of mental defilement, acting as one of the roots of evil actions—lobha, dosa, and moha.[7][8]
Lobha is a Sanskrit technical term, used in jurisdiction, meaning "greed for wealth".[9] It has been cited as one of the causes of perjury.[9]
