Summary
This famous classical Indian analysis of physical love and its place in the life of the well-rounded man and woman is one of the landmarks not only of indian literature, but of human civilization. It is frank and explicit in its descriptions, but highly moral in tone and beautifully poetic in manner of expression. Long a forbidden work, it is an indispensable key to the understanding of Indian civilization, as well as a delightful classic of world literature. The present edition contains the complete text of the original.
