Tib. འདུན་པ་ནི་འདོད་པའི་དངོས་པོ་ལ་དེ་དང་ལྡན་པར་བྱེད་པ་བརྩོན་འགྲུས་རྩོམ་པའི་རྟེན་བྱེད་པ།
Interest is to try to possess a desired object. It supports application of diligence. (Rigpa Translations)
Intention is to try to possess a desired object. It supports application of exertion. (Erik Pema Kunsang)

The Ornament of Abhidharma says: "observing the six objects, there will be a desire to engage with them, a wish to pursue them."
