Sexual Life in Ancient India: A Study in the Comparative History of Indian Culture v2.c11.40

- **Language:** English

### [v2.c11.40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.meyer-1915.v2.c11.40)

The love romance of the Rākshasī woman Hiḍimbā is also very beautiful, to whom the whole-hearted energy of purpose in following the ways of her heart is more becoming than to many a one among her numerous Eastern sisters skilled in the campaigns of love. And with it all there is a pretty touch of adventurous humour running through this tale of a giant, which reminds us of the giant-tales of Western, especially German, lands.
