In addition to this, they should create confidence in his mind by speaking to him of her former love for him, and should allude to the mark of that love that she has ever remembered. This mark of her love should be connected with some kind of pleasure that may have been practiced by him, such as his way of kissing her, or manner of having connection with her. > — Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana - [Previous: 6.4.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.6.4.32) - [Next: 6.4.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.6.4.34) - [Up: 6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.6.4) ## Translations (1) - [The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana~en-burton.6.4.p29) — Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, English ## Commentaries (1) - [Jayamaṅgalā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana!jayamangala.38.34) — Yaśodhara Indrapada, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (1) - [Text edited by Jean Fezas (with notes)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana*fezas.6.4.33) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.6.4.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.6.4.33) · Pramāṇa
