¹ Prof. H. C. Chakladar has proved that Vātsyāyana's Kāmasūtra was written about the middle of the third century A.D. (Calcutta University Journal of the Department of Letters, Vol. IV, pp. 85-122). Dr. A. Banerji Sastri is inclined to assign it too the end of the third century (JBORS, Vol. IX, p. 57) and Dr. Jolly to the fourth century (Introd. to Arthaśāstra, Punjab Sanskrit Series, p. 29). MM. Haraprasad Sastri, however, has tried to show in his "Magadhan Literature" that Vātsyāyana belonged to a considerably earlier period. Tr.
