The Buddha said: "Oh good man! We speak about the defilement of desire, which is due to evil’s internal sensation that rises to the head, caused by external causal relations. That is why, in times past, at Rajagriha, I said to Ananda: ‘Accept now the gatha [verse] which the woman speaks. This gatha is what the Buddhas of the past have spoken'. For this reason, I say that the evil’s internal sensation and the causal relations that operate from outside are desire. This is the defilement of desire."
