R!ga [cp. Sk. r!ga, fr. raj: see rajati] 1. colour, hue; colouring, dye Vin ii.107 (anga˚ "rougeing" the body:

excitement, passion; seldom by itself, mostly in combn with dosa, & moha, as the three fundamental
blemishes of character: passion or lust (uncontrolled excitement), ill -- will (anger) and infatuation
(bewilderment): see dosa2 & moha; cp. sar!ga. -- These three again appear in manifold combns with
similar terms, all giving var. shades of the "craving for existence" or "lust of life" (ta*h! etc.), or all that
which is an obstacle to nibb!na. Therefore the giving up of r!ga is one of the steps towards attaining the
desired goal of emancipation (vimutti). -- Some of the combns are e. g. the 3 (r. d. m.)+kilesa; +kodha; very
often fourfold r. d. m. with m!na, these again with di&&hi: see in full Nd2 s. v. r!ga (p. 237), cp. below
