The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana by Mallanaga Vātsyāyana

Moreover, it is possible to receive a straight answer on a cordial question related to a relationship between man and woman. Sure enough, it contains the chapters which provide a profound perception not only of the art of sexual relationships, but also of a very core of the spiritual affinity of the two base principles. Is it true, that the only thing mentioned in the Kama Sutra and may be useful for a couple is just a number of sex positions? No way. Still anyone may wonder, what the “mysterious” book means in the terms of daily life. Thus the work being written in part by different authors was almost unobtainable, and as the parts which were expounded by Dattaka and the others treated only of the particular branches of the subject to which each part related, and moreover as the original work of Babhravya was difficult to be mastered on account of its length, Vatsyayana, therefore, composed this work in a small volume as an abstract of the whole of the works of the above-named authors.Nowadays, no matter what social background an individual may have, to what gender identity or confession one may belong to, or how many years she or he has, – almost everyone’s heard of the Kamasutra. The remaining parts, viz., the second, third, fourth, fifth, and seventh were each separately expounded by:.

The sixth part of this last work was separately expounded by Dattaka at the request of the public women of Pataliputra ( Patna), and in the same way Charayana explained the first part of it. Aupamishadika (on the arts of seduction, tonic medicines, etc.). Paradarika (on the wives of other people). Kanya Samprayuktaka (union of males and females).

These one hundred and fifty chapters were then put together under seven heads or parts named severally-ġst. Now these ' Kama Sutra' ( Aphorisms on Love), written by Nundi in one thousand chapters, were reproduced by Shvetaketu, the son of Uddvalaka, in an abbreviated form in five hundred chapters, and this work was again similarly reproduced in an abridged form, in one hundred and fifty chapters, by Babhravya, an inheritant of the Punchala (South of Delhi) country.

Some of these commandments, namely those which treated of Dharma, were separately written by Swayambhu Manu those that related to Artha were compiled by Brihaspati and those that referred to Kama were expounded by Nandi, the follower of Mahadeva, in one thousand chapters. In the beginning, the Lord of Beings created men and women, and in the form of commandments in one hundred thousand chapters laid down rules for regulating their existence with regard to Dharma, Artha, and Kama.
