Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationBhogābhilāṣa (भोगाभिलाष) refers to “desire for the enjoyments”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.14 (“The Birth of Tāraka and Vajrāṅga”).—Accordingly, as Vajrāṅga said to Brahmā: “In order to achieve his interest, Indra killed the foetus of my mother. He has now tasted the fruit thereof. Well may he rule over his kingdom. O Brahmā, I did this only at the bidding of my mother. I have no desire for the enjoyments [i.e., bhogābhilāṣa] of any one of the worlds. O Brahmā, foremost of those who know the Vedas, tell me the essence of real philosophy whereby I can ever remain happy, pleased in heart and free from aberrations. [...]”.
