Description
This outstanding anthology presents for the first time both to the scholars and general readers a companion volume to the famous Kamasutra by the sage-teacher Vatsyayana. The present compendium will be found to serve as a veritable source-book of original views and teachings belonging historically to pre-Vatsyayana authorities which – as arranged here systematically under the Sixty-four conventional Topics of the Kama Shastra–open a new tract of ancient wisdom, exposing the Aphorisms of Love hitherto lost and unknown. It goes to retrieve many a canonical and expic text in a specific perspective of the old Kama Shastra expertise belonging to the ancientmost stratifications of India’s literary history, beginning from the oldest Vedas down to the poetic and technical documents of the second century at the latest.
