This is a new edition of an original Indian volume in which the sutras are translated as they were written and put into their historical, religious and cultural context – a celebration of the many aspects of courtship and love. The introduction to the book traces the evolution of the subject through the Vedic and post-Vedic periods and provides a valuable comparative study of the various texts. There is also a complete glossary of Sanskrit terms.
It is not only an important reference for every student of ancient Indian culture and civilization, but is a work of art in its own right. It is a beautifully designed volume, illustrated with photographs of the famous 11th-century Indian sculptures from the sacred temple at Khajuraho.
