Kamasutra , the oldest extant Indian prose treatise (sutra) on the subject of pleasure (kama)— sexual pleasure, desire, love, and the pleasures of good living generally conceived. This book is acomprehensive translation of the mostauthoritative work on love in Sanskrit literature - the KamaSutra , Aphorisms on Love by Vatsyayana. Divided into seven books and thirty-sixparts, the evidence concerning the dateof the writing and the commentarieswritten on it are examined in theIntroduction. EDITOR'S NOTE As Alain Danielou observes in his Introduction, the Sanskrit text of the Kama Sutra and its commentaries frequently use familiar terms, like yoga, tantra, and upanisbad, in highly unusual and technical senses. Because of the inherent interest of this terminology and because of the Kama Sutra's rich vocabulary, this edition cites an extensive list of Sanskrit words and phrases and features several appendices, which we hope will be of use to specialist and nonspecialist alike. A platform that hosts data of cultural relevance from various repositories and institutions all over India.
