The Kama Sutra Summary
| In the literature of all countries there will be found a certain number of works treating especially of love. Everywhere the subject is dealt with 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. |

Au commencement, le Seigneur des Etres créa les hommes et les femmes, et, sous forme de commandements en cent mille chapitres, traça les règles de leur existence par rapport à Dharma qui est l'aquisition du mérite religieux, Artha qui est l'acquisition de la richesse, de la propriété, etc. et Kama qui est l'amour, la jouissance, le plaisir sensuel. On a conservé partout ces trois mots. On peut aussi les définir par venu, richesse et plaisir, trois choses dont il est continuellement question dans les Lois de Manou.

| In the literature of all countries there will be found a certain number of works treating especially of love. Everywhere the subject is dealt with 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. 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. 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 Vatsyayana had passed away, but who still considered him as the great authority, and always quoted him as the chief guide to Hindoo erotic literature. |
