She should also give him some loving presents, and make an exchange of her own things with his, and at the same time should show him her skill in sexual enjoyment. When a courtezan is thus united with her lover she should always delight him by affectionate gifts, by conversation, and by the application of tender means of enjoyment." > — Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana - [Previous: 6.1.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.6.1.31) - [Next: 6.1.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.6.1.33) - [Up: 6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.6.1) ## Translations (1) - [The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana~en-burton.6.1.p59) — Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, English ## Commentaries (1) - [Jayamaṅgalā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana!jayamangala.35.30) — Yaśodhara Indrapada, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (1) - [Text edited by Jean Fezas (with notes)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana*fezas.6.1.32) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.6.1.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.6.1.32) · Pramāṇa
