    Same thing, one is in Pali and the other is in Sanskrit, same word and same meaning in different languages. Your fist definition is correct.

    One is use mostly in Hinayana or Theravada Buddhism- which uses the language of Pali.

    The other is used by Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism- which uses Sanskrit to show their origin- India.

    Lust is definitely actual - you % to have intercourse with this individual, grope this individual. All physique stuff. Love is emotional - particular, there are factors of lust in love yet for the main area that is prepared to be with that individual, communicate with that individual, cuddle, and to stay with them forever. tl;dr Lust leaves once you earnings some pounds, love continues to be and asks in case you % cake.
