In the Mahapurana, Uttara Purana, those who are influenced by kshaya, vishaya, aarammbh and worldly knowledge, and are attached to the six tastes related to the tongue and senses, are called Kusheel with evil intentions. || 19 || Those who are greedy for prohibited substances and emotions are called Sansakt.
