Sexual Life in Ancient India: A Study in the Comparative History of Indian Culture v1.c9.2

v1.c9.2

¹ On her see my three books: Daṇḍin’s Daçakumāracaritam, p. 46 ff. and 205 ff., Kshemendra’s Samayamātṛkā, and Dāmodaragupta’s Kuṭṭanimatam (all published by Lotosverlag, Leipzig), where, however, I should now like to add much, and in some things to make some changes. See, too, in my Kauṭilya the passages under “Lustdirne”. There is no need, perhaps, to make mention of R. Schmidt’s excellent works: Vātsyāyanas Kāmasutra, Indische Erotik, and Liebe und Ehe in Indien. In them will be found abundant information on this leading figure in the Indian life of love, or rather lechery.
