Lobha

In Hinduism, lobha (Sanskrit: लोभ) 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]

Lobha is a Sanskrit technical term, used in jurisdiction, meaning "greed for wealth".[6] It has been cited as one of the causes of perjury.[6]
