**kāma** （m．nt．） [Dhtp （603） & Dhtm （843） paraphrase by “icchāyaṁ，” cp．Vedic kāma，kam=Idg．*qā] to desire，cp．Lat．carus，Goth．hōrs，E whore．-- 1．Objective：pleasantness，pleasure-giving，an object of sensual enjoyment； -- 2．subjective：（a） enjoyment，pleasure on occasion of sense，（b） sense-desire．Buddhist commentators express 1 and 2 by kāmiyatī ti kāmo，and kametī ti kāmo Cpd．81，n．2．Kāma as sense-desire and enjoyment plus objects of the same is a collective name for all but the very higher or refined conditions of life．The kāma-bhava or --loka （worlds of sensedesire） includes 4 of the 5 modes （gati’s） of existence and part of the fifth or deva-loka．See Bhava．The term is not found analyzed till the later books of the Canon are consulted，thus，Nd1 1 distinguishes （1） vatthukāmā：desires relating to a base，i．e．physical organ or external object，and （2） kilesakāmā：desire considered subjectively．So also Nd2 202，quoted DhA．II，162； III，240； and very often as ubho kāmā．A more logical definition is given by Dhammapāla on Vv 11 （VvA．11）．He classifies as follows：1．manāpiyā rūpādi-visayā．-- 2．chandarāga．-- 3．sabbasmiṁ lobha．-- 4．gāmadhamma．-- 5．hitacchanda．-- 6．serībhāva，i．e．k．concerned with （1） pleasant objects，（2） impulsive desire，（3） greed for anything，（4） sexual lust，（5） effort to do good，（6） self-determination．\\
