INDRIYANI  MANO  BUDDHI  RASYADISHTANAM  UCYATE

ETYIER  VIMOHAYATYESHA  JNANAM  AVRUTYA DEHINAM


Kamam depends upon five senses, mind[nature of imagination], buddhi [enthusiastic intelligence]. Kamam or lust or thirst or desires manipulate the above,indriya,mind,buddhi, to enjoy the objects. This kamam creates misunderstandings to Atma by encircling the jnanam of the Atma.
