First Arrow Rochana The Book of Desire

The contents of these works are literary curiositieswritten mostly in Sanskrit verse, they deal with ethics, the science and art of sexual liaisons, aphrodisiacs, and guidelines for begetting male children. The verse features a loose narrative line as well, with Kamadeva as the personification of lovethe Hindu Cupid.
