And what is done by the arm can also be done by the foot. If the man succeeds in this point he should embrace her more closely, and if she will not stand the embrace and gets up, but behaves with him as usual the next day, he should consider then that she is not unwilling to be enjoyed by him. If, however, she does not appear again, the man should try to get over her by means of a go-between; and if, after having disappeared for some time she again appears, and behaves with him as usual, the man should then consider that she would not object to be united with him. > — Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana - [Previous: 5.3.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.5.3.10) - [Next: 5.3.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.5.3.12) - [Up: 5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.5.3) ## Translations (1) - [The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana~en-burton.5.3.p9) — Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, English ## Commentaries (1) - [Jayamaṅgalā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana!jayamangala.31.11) — Yaśodhara Indrapada, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (1) - [Text edited by Jean Fezas (with notes)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana*fezas.5.3.11) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.5.3.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.5.3.11) · Pramāṇa
