Kama Sua of Vatsyayang Free Version from 4 Freedoms Tania
Chapter II
Of The Ways Of Exciting Desire, And
Miscellaneous Experiments, And Recipes
If aman is unable to satisfy a Hastini, or Elephant woman,
he should have recourse to various means to excite her
passion. At the commencement he should rub her yoni with
his hand or fingers, and not begin to have intercourse with
her until she becomes excited, or experiences pleasure. This
is one way of exciting a woman.
Or, he may make use of certain Apadravyas, or things
which are put on or around the lingam to supplement its
length or its thickness, so as to fit it to the yoni. In the
opinion of Babhravya, these Apadravyas should be made of
gold, silver, copper, iron, ivory, buffalo's horn, various
kinds of wood, tin or lead, and should be soft, cool,
provocative of sexual vigour, and well fitted to serve the
intended purpose. Vatsyayana, however, says that they may
be made according to the natural liking of each individual.
The following are the different kinds of Apadravyas:
1. “The armlet” (Valaya) should be of the same size as
the lingam, and should have its outer surface made
rough with globules.
2. “The couple” (Sanghati) is formed of two armlets.
3. “The bracelet” (Chudaka) is made by joining three
or more armlets, until they come up to the required
length of the lingam.
4. “The single bracelet” is formed by wrapping a
single wire around the lingam, according to its
dimensions.
