depravity
Kilesa (and klesa) [from kilissati] stain, soil, impurity, figurative affliction; in a moral sense, depravity, lust. Its occurrence in the Piṭakas is rare; in later works, very frequent, where it is approximately tantamount to our terms lower, or unregenerate nature, sinful desires, vices, passions. 1. Kilesa as obstacle (see °āvaraṇa, °sampayutta, °vippayutta, °pahāna) Paṭis I 33; Saddh 455; bhikkhu {217} bhinnakileso "one whose passions are broken up" Vibh 246, Pv-a 51; upasanta kileso "one whose passions are calmed" Pv-a 230; no ce pi jātu puriso kilese vāto yathā abbhaghanaṃ vihāne Snp 348; pariyodapeyya attānaṃ citta-klesehi paṇḍito S V 24 = A V 232, 253 = Dhp 88. 2. Occurs in such combinations as kilesā ca khandhā ca abhisaṅkhārā ca Nidd II §487; kilesa + khandha: Paṭis I 69 72; II 36, 140; cf. Vibh 44, 68; kilesa + saṃsāra Pv-a 7; kammaṃ kilesā hetu saṃsārassa Nett 113, cf. 191. 3. Kilesa also occurs in a series explanatory of taṇhā, in the stereotype combination of t., diṭṭhi, kilesa "clinging to existence, false ideas and lust" (see Nidd II sub voce taṇhā verse). 4. In the same function it stands with rāga, viz. rāga dosa moha kilesa, i.e. sensuality, bewilderment and lust (see Nidd II sub voce rāga II), cf. Dhs 982, 1006. The grouping as dasa kilesa-vatthūni is: lobha dosa moha māna diṭṭhi vicikicchā thīnaṃ uddhaccaṃ ahirikaṃ anottappaṃ Dhs 1548 = Vibh 341; Vism 683; mentioned at Paṭis I 130. — These with the exception of the last two, are also grouped as aṭṭha k°-vatthūni at Vibh 385. — As three kilesas (past, future and present) at Paṭis II 217. 5. The giving up of kilesa is one of the four essentials of perfection: the recognition of evil, the removal of its source (which is kilesa), the meditation on the Path, and the realization of the extinction of evil (see Nidd II sub voce dukkha II). Kilesa in this connection interchanges with samudaya, as denoting the origin of evil; cf. samudayo kilesā Nett 191. -āvaraṇa the obstacle of lust Vibh 342 Pp 13; Vism 177; -āvaraṇatā the same A III 436; -kkhaya the destruction of lust Abhidh-av 81; -paripantha danger of lust Ja VI 57; -pahāna the giving up of worldly lust Vin III 92 f., IV 25; Abhidh-av 129, 131; -puñja the heap of lusts; consisting of ten qualities, viz. the four āhārā (etc. four of each:), vipallāsā, upādānāni, yogā, gandhā, āsavā, oghā, sallā, viññāṇaṭṭhitiyo, agatigamanāni. Nett 113, 114; 116 f. -bhūmi the substratum or essence of lust Nett 2, 192; there are four mentioned at Nett 161: anusaya°, pariyuṭṭhāna°, saṃyojana°, upādāna°; -māra death which is the consequence of sinful desire Dhp-a I 317 (in explanation of Māra); -vatthūni (plural) the (10) divisions of kilesa (see above) Dhs 1229, 1548; Vism 20; -vinaya the discipline of lust Nett 22; -vippayutta free from lust (dhamma principles, to which belongs Nibbāna) Dhs 1555; -sampayutta connected or affected with lust Dhs 1554 (as 12 principles); Vibh 18 = 30 = 44 = 56, 68, 80, 96, 120, 323.
