But Vatsyayana thinks that money can be obtained tomorrow as well as today, but if the request of a friend be not at once complied with, he may become disaffected. Even here, in making the choice, regard must be paid to future good fortune. > — Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana - [Previous: 6.5.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.6.5.21) - [Next: 6.5.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.6.5.23) - [Up: 6.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana.6.5) ## Translations (1) - [The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.kama.vatsyayana~en-burton.6.5.p8) — 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.6.5.22) — Sanskrit ## Linked texts (1) - [Studies in the Geography of Ancient and Medieval India](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.geography.sircar-1960.c8.s3.61) — D.
