Desc: This definitive volume is the first modern translation of Vatsyayana's Kama Sutra to include two essential commentaries: the Jayamangala of Yashodhara and the modern Hindi commentary by Devadatta Shastri. Alain Danilou spent four years comparing versions of the Kama Sutra in Sanskrit Hindi Bengali and English drawing on his intimate experience of India to preserve the full explicitness of the original. I wanted to demystify India he writes to show that a period of great civilization of high culture is forcibly a period of great liberty.
