The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana
The work contains nearly eight hundred
verses, and is divided into ten chapters, which are called Pachivedas. Some of the things
treated of in this work are not to be found in the Vatsyayana, such as the four classes of
women, viz., the Padmini, Chitrini, Shankini and Hastini, as also the enumeration of the
days and hours on which the women of the different classes become subject to love. The
author adds that he wrote these things from the opinions of Gonikaputra and Nandikeshwara,
both of whom are mentioned by Vatsyayana, but their works are not now extant. It is
difficult to give any approximate idea as to the year in which the work was composed. It
is only to be presumed that it was written after that of Vatsyayana, and previous to the
other works on this subject that are still extant. Vatsyayana gives the names of ten
authors on the subject, all of whose works he had consulted, but none of which are extant,
and does not mention this one. This would tend to show that Kukkoka wrote after Vatsya,
otherwise Vatsya would assuredly have mentioned him as an author in this branch of
literature along with the others.
