kama| In Hinduism, one of the four prescribed aims of material life. These aims are dharma (religion), artha (prosperity), kama (sensual pleasure), and moksha (liberation). From religion followed prosperity, which in turn brought kama. When satiated, one would seek moksha – release from the cycle of birth and death. |
