Lavish and sumptuous in its accompanying full-color illustrations (appearing on every page), this work is a comprehensive translation of the Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana, a work of verse from Benares, India, written some time between the first and sixth century C.E. Vatsyayana intended that his work be available to the reader who preserved his dharma (virtue), artha (wealth), and kama (pleasure), while maintaining respect for the customs of the people, so that he might obtain mastery over his senses and gain success in any endeavor.
This book is based on the original Burton and Arbuthnot translation of the Kama Sutra, with additions from other Sanskrit versions. The editor has done a remarkable job in assembling, portraying, and identifying a vast array of striking images and in contributing informative commentary to accompany the verses.
