This Sanskrit compound word means “set of six enemies” which are to banished from mind . The six enemies are

KAMA  ..  Lust
KRODHA  ..  Rage/Anger
LOBHA  ..  Greed
MOHA ..  Delusion born out of ignorance
MADA ..  Arrogance
MATSARYA ..  Jealousy

The set is fine as far as it goes. But I feel it is incomplete. I am of the strong opinion that two more need to be added to the list. They are DVESH (Hatred) and BHAYA (Fear). What is more, they can top the list also.

 The reasons are obvious.  It is not difficult to recognize that hatred has played a major role in the history of mankind and that includes mythology also. It is dominant even today.

Fear is subconscious and man’s actions, attitudes, beliefs etc. are largely driven by the built-in fear. In fact fear is the root cause of ignorance and superstition and even cruelty according to Sir Bertrand Russell. Swami Vivekananda has used very strong words  to describe the implication of fear while saying "Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, fear is wrong life. All negative thoughts and ideas that are present in the world have proceeded from the evil spirit of fear"

I propose therefore that ARIYASHTAAVARGA to replace ARISHADVARGA and the order can be
DVESHA-BHAYA-KRODHA-MADA-LOBHA-KAMA-MOHA-MATSARYA
