bubhukṣā = bhuj + san + a + ṭāp
san is by dhātoḥ karmaṇaḥ samānakartṛkādicchāyāṃ vā (A 3.1.7)
a is by a pratyayāt (A 3.3.102)
ṭāp is by ajādyataṣṭāp (A 4.1.4)
There is no sense of intense desire or craving in the suffix san as far as I know (neither in a or ṭāp). In itself, the word bubhukṣā simply means a desire to eat or hunger, both literally and in common usage as attested to in the Amarakoṣa (aśanāyā bubhukṣā kṣut) and also in the Dhātupāṭha (kṣudh bubhukṣāyām).
As far as the interpretation of bubhukṣā in the MBh verses is concerned, the commentary by Nīlakaṇṭha may be referred to.

Turner's CDIAL 9286 gives: "desire to eat, hunger".Might it not be, that the use of the desiderative points us not to simple "hunger"? But, perhaps, to "[uncontrolled] craving for food"? To, even, "gluttony" - as the result of that uncontrolled craving?An idea of moderation there? Popularly: emotional eating vs. mindful eating.What I feel is present there is the warning against and the recommendation not to succumb to emotions/temptations generated by the idea of food.Best,Artur2016-04-25 2:40 GMT+02:00 Nityanand Misra <nmisra@gmail.com>:You may refer the Hindi translation by Gita Press too (see verses 88 to 92).On 25 April 2016 at 06:04, Nityanand Misra <nmisra@gmail.com> wrote:Kisari Mohan Ganguly has already taken pity on all of us. Copy-pasted from http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m14/m14090.htmO thou of excellent vows, thou practisest penances with great devotion. Thy gifts have, therefore, gratified the deities highly, O best of regenerate ones.
Since thou hast made this gift, in a season of great difficulty, with a pure heart, thou hast, by this act of thine, conquered Heaven.
Hunger destroys one's wisdom and drives off one's righteous understanding. One whose intelligence is overwhelmed by hunger casts off all fortitude.
He, therefore, that conquers hunger conquers Heaven without doubt. One's righteousness is never destroyed as long as one cherishes the inclination of making gifts.
