[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Ragameda in Mahayana glossary
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

岵岹 (रागमेद) refers to the “fat of desire�, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 31).—Accordingly, “pure wisdom (ñ) always considers (Գܱ貹śⲹپ) universal impermanence (Ծٲⲹ) and because it considers impermanence it does not produce the fetters (ṃyᲹԲ), thirst (ṛṣṇ�), etc. It is like a sheep (ḍa첹) that is kept near a tiger (): even if it has good grass and good water, it does not get fat. In the same way, even though they experience pure happiness (anāsravasukha), the saints nevertheless contemplate impermanence (Ծٲⲹ) and emptiness (śūԲⲹ) and that is why they do not produce the ‘fat� of desire (岵岹)�.
