2.1.32

raso ratiḥ prītir bhāvo rāgo vegaḥ samāptir iti rati-paryāyāḥ. saṃprayogo rataṃ rahaḥ śayanaṃ mohanaṃ surata-paryāyāḥ.

There being thus nine kinds of union with regard to dimensions, force of passion, and time, respectively, by making combinations of them, innumerable kinds of union would be produced. Therefore in each particular kind of sexual union, men should use such means as they may think suitable for the occasion.

Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana
