00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:20.719
Carolina. The Kimisutra by Vetsiyana,
Part seven, chapter two of the Ways

4
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:28.559
of Exciting Desire and Miscellaneous Experiments and
Recipes. If a man is unable to

5
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:33.759
satisfy a hastini or elephant woman,
he should have recourse to various means to

6
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.759
excite her passion. At the commencement, he should rub her yoni with his

7
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.039
hand or fingers, and not begin
to have intercourse with her until she becomes

8
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:47.399
excited or experiences pleasure. This is
one way of exciting a woman. Or

9
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:52.119
he may make use of certain apadravias
or things which are put on or around

10
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:56.280
the lingam to supplement its length or
its thickness, so as to fit it

11
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.920
to the yoni. In the opinion
of Bravhabya, these apra davias should be

12
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:07.079
made of gold, silver, copper, iron, ivory, buffalo's horn,

13
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.799
various kinds of wood, tin,
or lead, and should be soft,

14
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:17.560
cool, provocative of sexual vigor,
and well fitted to serve the intended purpose.

15
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.159
Vetsyayana, however, says that they
may be made according to the natural

16
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:27.519
liking of each individual. The following
are the different kinds of apadravias. One

17
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:34.200
the armlet valaya should be of the
same size as the lingam and should have

18
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:41.319
its outer surface made rough with globules. Two, the couple sangati is formed

19
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:48.040
of two armlets. Three the bracelet
chudhaka is made by joining three or more

20
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:53.760
armlets until they come up to the
required length of the lingam. Four the

21
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.840
single bracelet is formed by wrapping a
single wire around the lingam according to its

22
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:05.599
dimensions. Five. The kanduca or
jalaca is a tube open at both ends

23
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:09.719
with a whole through it outwardly rough
and studded with soft globules, and made

24
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:15.400
to fit the side of the yoni
and tied to the waist. When such

25
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.319
a thing cannot be obtained, then
a tube made of the wood apple or

26
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:23.840
tubular stalk of the bottle gourd,
or a reed made soft with oil and

27
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:28.919
extracts of plants and tied to the
waist with strings may be made use of.

28
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:34.319
As also a row of soft pieces
of wood tied together. The above

29
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.800
are the things that can be used
in connection with or in the place of

30
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:43.240
the lingum. The people of the
southern countries think that true sexual pleasure cannot

31
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:47.240
be obtained without perforating the lingum,
and they therefore cause it to be pierced,

32
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:52.840
like the lobes of the ears of
an infant pierced for earrings. Now,

33
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.919
when a young man perforates his lingam, he should pierce it with a

34
00:02:54.960 --> 00:03:00.319
sharp instrument, and then stand in
water so long as the blood continue to

35
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:05.719
flow. At night, he should
engage in sexual intercourse, even with vigor,

36
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.639
so as to clean the hole.
After this, he should continue to

37
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:14.840
wash the hole with decoctions and increase
the size by putting into it small pieces

38
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:21.319
of cane and the ritea anti dysenterica, and thus gradually enlarging the orifice.

39
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.800
It may also be washed with licorice
mixed with honey, and the size of

40
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:30.759
the hole increased by the fruit stalks
of the simipatra plant. The hole should

41
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:35.159
be anointed with a small quantity of
oil. In the hole made in the

42
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.319
lingam, a man may put apadravias
of various forms, such as the round,

43
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:45.479
the round on one side, the
wooden mortar, the flower, the

44
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:50.319
armlet, the bone of the heron, the goat of the elephant, the

45
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.520
collection of eight balls, the lock
of hair, the place where four roads

46
00:03:54.599 --> 00:04:00.639
meet, and other things named according
to their forms and means of using them.

47
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:04.639
All these apadravias should be rough on
the outside according to their requirements.

48
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:11.520
The ways of enlarging the lingam must
be now related. When a man wishes

49
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.960
to enlarge his lingam, he should
rub it with the bristles of certain insects

50
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.199
that live in trees, and then, after rubbing it for ten nights with

51
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:25.279
oils, he should again rub it
with the bristles as before. By continuing

52
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.240
to do this, a swelling will
be gradually produced in the lingam, and

53
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.199
he should then lie on a cot
and causes lingam to hang down through a

54
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:36.800
hole in the cot. After this
he should take away all the pain from

55
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:43.680
the swelling by using cool concoctions.
The swelling, which is called suca and

56
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:48.319
is often brought about among the people
of the Dravida country, lasts for life

57
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:54.040
if the lingam is rubbed with the
following things. That is, the plant

58
00:04:54.160 --> 00:05:00.279
Fisalis flexuosa, the Shivara kandaka plant, the jalusuca plant, the fruit of

59
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:05.600
the eggplant, the butter of a
she buffalo, the hostry charma plant,

60
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:11.920
and the juice of the vadra rasa
plant. A swelling lasting for one month

61
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:16.040
will be produced by rubbing it with
oil boiled. In the concoctions of the

62
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.639
above things, the same effect will
be produced, but lasting for six months.

63
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:26.639
The enlargement of the lingam is also
affected by rubbing it or moistening it

64
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.319
with oil boiled on a moderate fire, along with the seeds of the pomegranate

65
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.800
and the cucumber, the juices of
the volucca plant, the hasty charma plant,

66
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:41.759
and the eggplant. In addition to
the above, other means may be

67
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:48.480
learnt from experienced in confidential persons.
The miscellaneous experiments and recipes are as follows.

68
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:54.240
A. If a man mixes the
powder of the milk hedge plant and

69
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.639
the kanaka plant with the excrement of
a monkey and the powdered root of the

70
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:02.040
longala lika plant, and throws this
mixture on a woman, she will not

71
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:09.360
love anybody else afterwards. B If
a man thickens the juice of the fruits

72
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:15.040
of the Cassia festula and the Eugenia
jambulana by mixing them with the powder of

73
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:21.399
the soma plant, the Vernonia anthomintica, the Eclipta prostata, and the Lohopa

74
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:27.519
jehirka, and applies this composition to
the yoni of a woman and then has

75
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:32.920
sexual intercourse with her, his love
for her will be destroyed. C The

76
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:38.079
same effect is produced if a man
has connection with a woman who has bathed

77
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:42.600
in the buttermilk of a she buffalo
mixed with the powders of the gopoalika plant,

78
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:48.759
the banu padika plant, and the
yellow amaranth d an Ointment made of

79
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:55.680
the flowers of the Naucleia kadamba,
the hog plum and the Eugenia jambulana,

80
00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:00.439
and used by a woman causes her
to be disliked by her husband. E

81
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:05.680
Garlands made of the above flowers,
when worn by the woman, produced the

82
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:14.800
same effect. F an Ointment made
of the fruit of the Asteracantha longifolia or

83
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:20.439
coculaksha will contract the yonie of a
hastini or elephant woman, and this contraction

84
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:28.560
lasts for one night. G an
oiment made by pounding the roots of Thenlumbrium

85
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:33.600
speciosum and of the blue lotus and
the powder of the plant Vesalus flexuosa,

86
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:40.480
mixed with ghee and honey will enlarge
the yoni of the marigi or deer woman.

87
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.680
H an ointment made of the fruit
of the Amblica mirabolans soaked in the

88
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:53.639
milky juice of the milk hedge plant
of the soma plant, the Calotropsis gigantea,

89
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:58.839
and the juice of the fruit of
the Vernonia anthomentica will make the hair

90
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:05.240
white. I The juice of the
roots of the Mada yantica plant, the

91
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:11.879
yellow amaranth, the angenika plant,
the Clettoria ternatilla, and the Schlakshna parni

92
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:18.680
plant used as a lotion will make
the hair grow. J an ointment made

93
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.319
by boiling the above roots in oil
and rubbed in will make the hair black

94
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:31.399
and will also gradually restore hair that
has fallen out. K If lack is

95
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.679
saturated seven times in the sweat of
the testicle of a white horse and applied

96
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:43.000
to a red lip, the lip
will become white l The color of the

97
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.919
lips can be regained by means of
the Mada yantica and other plants mentioned under

98
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:54.879
I. M A woman who hears
a man playing on a reed pipe which

99
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.879
has been dressed with the juices of
the bahupatica plant, that taberna, monte

100
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:05.480
nana, coronoria, the costas speciosis
or arabicus, the pinus, theodora,

101
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:13.600
the Euphorbia antiquorum, the vadra,
and the kanaka plant becomes his slave.

102
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:20.000
N. If food be mixed with
the fruit of the thorn apple or dathura,

103
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:26.480
it causes intoxication. OH. If
water be mixed with oil and the

104
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.159
ashes of any kind of grass except
the cusha grass, it becomes the color

105
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:37.639
of milk. P If yellow mirrabolans, the hog plum, the schrowuana plant,

106
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:43.159
and the preangu plant be all pounded
together and applied to iron pots,

107
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:50.679
these pots become red. Q.
If a lamp trimmed with oil extracted from

108
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.799
the schrouana and priangan plants, its
wick being made of cloth, and the

109
00:09:54.799 --> 00:10:00.399
sluff of the skins of snakes,
is lighted and long pieces of of wood

110
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:05.759
placed near it, those pieces of
wood will resemble so many snakes. R.

111
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:11.080
Drinking the milk of a white cow
who has a white calf at her

112
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:18.279
feet is auspicious, produces fame and
preserves life. S The blessings of venerable

113
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:26.120
Brahmins well propitiated have the same effect. There are also some verses in conclusion.

114
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.399
Thus have I written in a few
words the science of Love after reading

115
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.519
the texts of ancient authors and following
the ways of enjoyment mentioned in them.

116
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.320
He who is acquainted with the true
principles of this science pays regard to Dharma

117
00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:46.440
Artha Kaema and to his own experiences, as well as to the teachings of

118
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.600
others, and does not act simply
on the dictates of his own desire.

119
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.840
As for the errors in the Science
of Love which I have mentioned in this

120
00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:00.679
work on my own authority as an
author, I have immediately after mentioning them,

121
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:07.080
carefully censured and prohibited them. An
act is never looked upon with indulgence

122
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.440
for the simple reason that it is
authorized by the science. Because it ought

123
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.480
to be remembered that it is the
intention of the science that the rules which

124
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:20.519
it contains should only be acted upon
in particular cases. After reading and considering

125
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:26.159
the works of bov Haavriya and other
ancient authors, and thinking over the meaning

126
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:30.840
of the rules given by them,
the Kimis Sutra was composed according to the

127
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:35.679
precepts of holy writ for the benefit
of the world by Vetsiayana, while leading

128
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:41.000
the life of a religious student and
wholly engaged in the contemplation of the deity.

129
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.919
This work is not intended to be
used merely as an instrument for satisfying

130
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:52.320
our desires. A person acquainted with
the true principles of this science, and

131
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.399
who preserves as Dharma, Artha and
Kaema, and has regard for the practices

132
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.440
of the people, is sure to
obtain the mastery over his senses. In

133
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:07.440
short, an intelligent and prudent person
attending to Dharma and Artha and attending du

134
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:13.799
Kama, also without becoming the slave
of his passions, obtain success in everything

135
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:24.799
that he may undertake. Concluding remarks
thus ends in seven parts. The Khimisutra

136
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:30.679
avates Yayana, which might otherwise be
called a treatise on men and women their

137
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:35.519
mutual relationship and connection with each other. It is a work that should be

138
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.759
studied by all, both old and
young. The former will find in it

139
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:46.080
real truths gathered by experience and already
tested by themselves, while the latter will

140
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.360
derive the great advantage of learning things
which some perhaps may otherwise never learn at

141
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.519
all. Or which they may only
learn when it is too late, too

142
00:12:54.600 --> 00:13:01.159
late those immortal words of Mirabeau to
profit by the learning. It can also

143
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.799
be fairly commended to the student of
social science and of humanity, and above

144
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.320
all to the student of those early
ideas which have gradually filtered down through the

145
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.360
sands of time, and which seem
to prove that the human nature of today

146
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.200
is much the same as the human
nature of the long ago. It has

147
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.600
been said of Balzac, the great, if not the greatest, of French

148
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:28.879
novelists, that he seemed to have
inherited a natural and intuitive perception of the

149
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.399
feelings of men and women, and
has described them with an analysis worthy of

150
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.600
a man of science. The author
of the present work must have also had

151
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.279
a considerable knowledge of the humanities.
Many of his remarks are so full of

152
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.279
simplicity and truth that they have stood
the test of time and stand out still

153
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:52.879
as clear and true as when they
were first written some eighteen hundred years ago.

154
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:56.480
As a collection of facts told in
plain and simple language. It must

155
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:01.879
be remembered that in those early days
there was a apparently no idea of embellishing

156
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.679
the work, either with a literary
style, a flow of language or a

157
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:11.960
quantity of superfluous padding. The author
tells the world what he knows in very

158
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:18.120
concise language, without any attempt to
produce an interesting story from his facts.

159
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.120
How many novels could be written.
Indeed, much of the matter contained in

160
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.679
Parts three, four, five,
and six has formed the basis of many

161
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:31.320
of the stories and the tales of
past centuries. There will be found in

162
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.320
Part seven some curious recipes. Many
of them appear to be as primitive as

163
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:41.000
the book itself, but in later
works of the same nature, these recipes

164
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:46.399
and prescriptions appear to have increased,
both as regards quality and quantity. In

165
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:52.240
the onungar Unga or the Stage of
Love mentioned at page five of the preface.

166
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.440
In Part one, there are found
no less than thirty three different subjects,

167
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:01.559
for which one hundred and thirty recipes
and prescriptions are given, as the

168
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:07.480
details may be interesting. These subjects
are described as follows. One for hastening

169
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.360
the paroxysm of the woman, two
for delaying the organs of the man,

170
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:20.039
three aphrodisiacs. Four for thickening and
enlarging the lingam, rendering its sound and

171
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:26.200
strong, hard and lusty. Five
for narrowing and contracting the yonie. Six

172
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:33.200
for perfuming the yonie, seven for
removing and destroying the hair of the body,

173
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:39.639
eight for removing the sudden stopping of
the monthly ailment, nine for abating

174
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:48.080
the immoderate appearance of the monthly ailment. Ten for purifying the womb, eleven

175
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:56.159
for causing pregnancy, twelve for preventing
miscarriage and other accidents, thirteen for insuring

176
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:03.320
easy labor and ready delivery, fourteen
for limiting the number of children, fifteen

177
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:10.879
for thickening and beautifying the hair,
sixteen for obtaining a good black color to

178
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:18.320
it, seventeen for widening and bleaching
it, eighteen for renewing it, nineteen

179
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:22.759
for clearing the skin of the face
from eruptions that break out and leave black

180
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:30.200
spots upon it, twenty for removing
the black color of the epidermis, twenty

181
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:37.840
one for enlarging the breasts of women, twenty two for raising and hardening pendulous

182
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:44.600
breasts, twenty three for giving a
fragrance to the skin, twenty four for

183
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:51.240
removing the evil savor of perspiration,
twenty five for anointing the body after bathing,

184
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:57.039
twenty six for causing a pleasant smell
to the breath, twenty seven Drugs

185
00:16:57.080 --> 00:17:03.360
and charms for the purposes of fast, overcoming and subduing either men or women.

186
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:08.759
Twenty eight recipes for enabling a woman
to attract and preserve her husband's love.

187
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:18.960
Twenty nine magical coliriums for winning love
and friendship. Thirty prescriptions for reducing

188
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:26.039
other persons to submission, thirty one
filter pills and other charms, thirty two

189
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:33.920
fascinating incense or fumigation, thirty three
magical verses which have the power of fascination.

190
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:38.640
Of the one hundred and thirty recipes
given, many of them are absurd,

191
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:44.160
but not more perhaps than many of
the recipes and prescriptions in use in

192
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:48.960
Europe not so very long ago.
Love filters, charms, and herbal remedies

193
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.640
have been in early days as freely
used in Europe as in Asia, and

194
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:57.960
doubtless some people believe in them still
in many places. And now. One

195
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:03.839
word about the author of the work
the good old Sage Vetsiayana, it is

196
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.240
much to be regretted that nothing can
be discovered about his life, his belongings,

197
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.039
and his surroundings. At the end
of part seven, he states that

198
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.160
he wrote the work while leading the
life of a religious student, probably at

199
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:21.359
Benaris, and while wholly engaged in
the contemplation of the deity. He must

200
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:25.559
have arrived at a certain age at
that time, for throughout he gives us

201
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:30.359
the benefit of his experience and of
his opinions, and these bear the stamp

202
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.319
of age rather than of youth.
Indeed, the work could hardly have been

203
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:37.759
written by a young man. In
a beautiful verse of the Vedas of the

204
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.880
Christians, it has been said of
the peaceful dead that they wrest from their

205
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:47.480
labors, and that their works do
follow them. Yes, indeed, the

206
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:51.759
works of men of genius do follow
them, and remain as a lasting treasure.

207
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.599
And though there may be disputes and
discussions about the immortality of the body

208
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:02.319
or the soul, nobody can deny
the immortality of genius, which ever remains

209
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:07.680
as a bright and guiding star to
the struggling humanities of succeeding ages. This

210
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:11.599
work, then, which has stood
the test of centuries, has placed Viatsiayana

211
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:17.559
among the immortals. And on this
and on him, no better elegy or

212
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:22.480
eulogy can be written than the following
lines. So long as lips shall kiss

213
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:30.440
and I shall see, so long
lives this and this gives life to THEE.

214
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:37.079
That is the end of the Kamisuchra
by Viatsiayana. Thank you for listening.
