(2). When two persons come together, while their love for each other is

still in its infancy, their congress is called the "congress of

subsequent love."

(3). When a man carries on the congress by exciting himself by means of

the sixty-four ways, such as kissing, etc., etc., or when a man and a

woman come together, though in reality they are both attached to

different persons, their congress is then called "congress of artificial

love." At this time all the ways and means mentioned in the Kama Shastra

should be used.

(4). When a man, from the beginning to the end of the congress, though

having connection with the women, thinks all the time that he is

enjoying another one whom he loves, it is called the "congress of

transferred love."

(5). Congress between a man and a female water carrier, or a female

servant of a caste lower than his own, lasting only until the desire is

satisfied, is called "congress like that of eunuchs." Here external

touches, kisses, and manipulations are not to be employed.

(6). The congress between a courtezan and a rustic, and that between

citizens and the women of villages, and bordering countries, is called,

"deceitful congress."

(7). The congress that takes place between two persons who are attached

to one another, and which is done according to their own liking is

called "spontaneous congress."

Thus ends the kinds of congress.

We shall now speak of love quarrels.

A woman who is very much in love with a man cannot bear to hear the name

of her rival mentioned, or to have any conversation regarding her, or to

be addressed by her name through mistake. If such takes place, a great

quarrel arises, and the woman cries, becomes angry, tosses her hair

about, strikes her lover, falls from her bed or seat, and, casting aside

her garlands and ornaments, throws herself down on the ground.

At this time, the lover should attempt to reconcile her with

conciliatory words, and should take her up carefully and place her on

her bed. But she, not replying to his questions, and with increased

anger, should bend down his head by pulling his hair, and having kicked

him once, twice, or thrice on his arms, head, bosom or back, should then

proceed to the door of the room. Dattaka says that she should then sit

angrily near the door and shed tears, but should not go out, because she

would be found fault with for going away. After a time, when she thinks

that the conciliatory words and actions of her lover have reached their

utmost, she should then embrace him, talking to him with harsh and

reproachful words, but at the same time showing a loving desire for

congress.
