Source: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Laulya (लौल्य) refers to one who “suffer from greed”, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—When the disciple is given the first initiation he is told a number of rules, both prohibitions and injunctions, that he must observe. [...] The Command and its operation are intimately related to this. The Tantra unambiguously admonishes that: “One who desires success (should not suffer from) greed, delusion or craving. He should not disobey (the teacher’s) Command, (or be) haughty, suffer from greed (laulya) or be attached to the objects of sense”.
