### [3.3.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.3.3.22)

tad grahaṇopadeśena ca prayojyāyāṃ ratikauśalam ātmanaḥ prakāśayet/

> He should also teach the daughter of the girl's nurse all the sixty-four means of pleasure practiced by men, and under this pretext should also inform her of his great skill in the art of sexual enjoyment. All this time he should wear a fine dress, and make as good an appearance as possible, for young women love men who live with them, and who are handsome, good looking, and well dressed. As for the saying that though women may fall in love, they still make no effort themselves to gain over the object of their affections, that is only a matter of idle talk.  
> — Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana
