While the introduction will deal with the evidence concerning the date of the writing, and the commentaries written upon it, the chapters following the introduction will give a translation of the work itself. In the present publication, it is proposed to give a complete translation of what is considered the standard work on love in Sanscrit literature, which is called the “Vatsya yana Kama Sutra,” or Aphorisms on Love, by Vatsyayana. Everywhere the subject is dealt with differently, and from various points of view.
In the literature of all countries, there will be found a certain number of works treating especially of love.
