The Sanskrit text of this famous manual on love and sexual
technique was written by Vatsyayana 17 centuries ago. 'Kama' is the
'enjoyment of appropriate objects by the five senses, assisted by
the mind with the aid of the soul,' and the Kama Sutra, consisting
of aphorisms on love, became a classic textbook on eroticism and
human pleasure. It describes when, with whom and how we should make
love, has a great variety of instructions and suggestions - and an
excellent turn of wit. (Kirkus UK)
This definitive volume is the first modern translation of
Vatsyayana's Kama Sutra to include two essential commentaries: the
Jayamangala of Yashodhara and the modern Hindi commentary by
Devadatta Shastri. Alain Danilou spent four years comparing
versions of the Kama Sutra in Sanskrit, Hindi, Bengali, and
English, drawing on his intimate experience of India, to preserve
the full explicitness of the original. I wanted to demystify India,
he writes, to show that a period of great civilization, of high
culture, is forcibly a period of great liberty.
