kāmopādāna (P.kāmupādāna; T. 'dod pa nye bar len pa; C. yuqu 欲取) is translated as "clinging to sense pleasures," "clinging of sensuality," etc. It is one of the four types of clinging (upādāna).
A Comprehensive Manual of Abhidhamma states:
- [clinging to sense pleasures] may be understood as intensified craving for sense pleasures, though the Commentaries point out that this kind of clinging can also be understood more broadly as craving for any of the things of the world.[1]
Buddhist Dictionary states:
- What now is the sensuous clinging? Whatever with regard to sensuous objects there exists of sensuous lust, sensuous desire, sensuous attachment, sensuous passion, sensuous deludedness, sensuous fetters: this is called sensuous clinging.[2]
