The book was first translated to English by Sir Richard Francis Burton and Forster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot. It is divided into 1250 verses, 36 chapters, and 7 parts. Nobody knows exactly who wrote these verses, but it was thought to be edited by Indian scholar Mallanāga Vātsyāyana by the 2nd century CE. Today, the Kamasutra is the most popular book in the western world on oriental sexual practices.  \n[www.rajaebookgratis.com](www.rajaebookgratis.com)  \nDEDICATED  \nTO THAT SMALL PORTION OF THE BRITISH PUBLIC WHICH TAKES ENLIGHTENED INTEREST IN STUDYING THE MANNERS AND CUSTOMS  \nOF THE OLDEN EAST.  \n[www.rajaebookgratis.com](www.rajaebookgratis.com)  \nPREFACE  \nIn the literature of all countries there will be found a certain number of works treating especially of love. Everywhere the subject is dealtwith differently, and from various points of view. In the present publication it is proposed to give a complete translation of what is considered the standard work on love in Sanscrit literature, and which is called the 'Vatsyayana Kama Sutra,' or Aphorisms on Love, by Vatsyayana.  \nWhile the introduction will bear 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. It is, however, advisable to furnish here a brief analysis of works of the same nature, prepared by authors who lived and wrote years after Vatsya had passed away, but who still considered him as a great authority, and always quoted him as the chief guide to Hindoo erotic literature.  \nBesides the treatise of Vatsyayana the following works on the same subject are procurable in India:--  \n1. The Ratirahasya, or secrets of love.  \n2. The Panchasakya, or the five arrows.  \n3. The Smara Pradipa, or the light of love.  \n4. The Ratimanjari, or the garland of love.  \n5. The Rasmanjari, or the sprout of love.  \n6. The Anunga Runga, or the stage of love; also called Kamaledhiplava, or a boat in the ocean of love.  \n[www.rajaebookgratis.com](www.rajaebookgratis.com)  \nThe author of the 'Secrets of Love' (No. 1) was a poet named Kukkoka. He composed his work to please one Venudutta, who was perhaps a king. When writing his own name at the end of each chapter he calls himself\"Siddha patiya pandita,\" i.e, an ingenious man among learned men. The work was translated into Hindi years ago, and in this the author's name was written as Koka. And as the same name crept into all the translations into otherlanguages in India, the book became generally known, and the subject was popularly called Koka Shastra, or doctrines of Koka, which is identical with the Kama Shastra, or doctrines of love, and the words Koka Shastra and Kama Shastra are used indiscriminately.  \nThe work contains nearly eight hundred verses, and is divided into  \nten chapters, which are called Pachivedas. Some of the things treated of in this work are not to be found in the Vatsyayana, such as the four classes of women, viz. , the Padmini, Chitrini, Shankini and Hastini, as also the enumeration of the days and hours on which the women of the different classes become subject to love. The author adds that he wrote these things from the opinions of Gonikaputra and Nandikeshwara, both of whom are mentioned by Vatsyayana, but their works are not no","cbCairBK7XpBg28f","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairBK7XpBg28f","pdf",1158396,4,1,238,"English","en",105,"# Preface\n## Aim of the translation\n## Related treatises on love\n## Notes on later authors and works","[{\"question\":\"What is the Kamasutra according to the introduction?\",\"answer\":\"The Kamasutra is a Sanskrit work that became a standard manual on sexual practices and includes analysis of human sexual behavior in ancient India.\"},{\"question\":\"Who are credited with the English translation mentioned in this publication?\",\"answer\":\"The English translation is credited to Sir Richard Francis Burton and Forster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the Kamasutra structured and how is its authorship described?\",\"answer\":\"It is described as divided into 1250 verses, 36 chapters, and 7 parts.
