Lobha

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". It is one of the five kleshas that afflict the Ātman. It is one of the Shadripurs.

In Buddhism, lobha (Pāli), synonymous with taṇhā and rāga, 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.

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