sgrib pa lnga

A set of mental factors that hinder discipline, concentration, and insight.

Longing for desires (kāmacchanda), malice (vyāpāda), sloth and torpor (styānamiddha), excitement and remorse (auddhatyakaukṛtya) and doubt (vicikitsā).

The five obscurations, as found in http://read.84000.co/translation/UT22084-031-002.html#UT22084-031-002-2531, comprise longing for sensual pleasure, agitation and regret, harmful intention, dullness and sleepiness, and hesitation. See also Kimura IV: 182.

These are five mental impediments that hinder meditation: impediments of desire (kāmacchanda), malice (vyāpāda), depression and sloth (styānamiddha), wildness and excitement (auddhatyakaukṛtya), and doubt, or perplexity (vicikitsa).
