But she, not replying to his questions, and with increased anger, should bend down his head by pulling his hair, and having kicked him once, twice, or thrice on his arms, head, bosom or back, should then proceed to the door of the room. Dattaka says that she should then sit angrily near the door and shed tears, but should not go out, because she would be found fault with for going away. After a time, when she thinks that the conciliatory words and actions of her lover have reached their utmost, she should then embrace him, talking to him with harsh and reproachful words, but at the same time showing a loving desire for congress. > — Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana - [Previous: 2.10.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.2.10.28) - [Next: 2.10.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.2.10.30) - [Up: 2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.2.10) ## Translations (1) - [The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana~en-burton.2.10.p23) — Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, English ## Commentaries (1) - [Jayamaṅgalā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana!jayamangala) — Yaśodhara Indrapada, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (1) - [Text edited by Jean Fezas (with notes)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana*fezas.2.10.29) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.2.10.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.2.10.29) · Pramāṇa
