Sir Richard Burton’s 1965 edition of Vatsyayana’s Kama Sutra brought this ancient Sanskrit text to the Western public, transcending its reputation as a mere manual for pleasure. The work serves as a comprehensive guide to virtuous living, exploring the nuances of love, social etiquette, and domestic harmony in ancient India. Burton’s scholarly approach highlights the text’s philosophical foundations, framing desire as a vital component of a balanced, well-ordered life within a sophisticated civilization.
Translated by Sir Richard Burton and F. F. Arbuthnot. Edited and with a preface by W.G. Archer and an introduction by K. M. Panikkar.
