→Why is kamaeshana not included as a desire to be pursued?
As per the ''Bhela Samhita'' [10] (Sutra 15), the three objectives are ''pranaeshana'', ''dhanaeshana'' and ''dharmaeshana'' (performing religious acts). The first two desires are same as mentioned by Charaka, while third ''dharmeshana'' is to follow the duties of individual towards one’s self, family, society, and realm, etc. abide by the moral and ethical traditions laid down in the scriptures, and maintain harmony between self and the society and environment, in general.

Chakrapani [11] raised a question, “Why is ‘kamaeshana’ not mentioned?”. However, he goes on to give an explanation to this exclusion himself, writing that ‘kamaeshana’ can be considered as an implicit activity in one’s pursuit of pranaeshana and dhanaeshana. Since a person instinctively indulges in ‘kama’, there is no need to explain it separately.
