Part 1 |
• Quick comprehension
• Quick application of remedies, i.e. quick and ready resources
And this part ends with a verse:
`The man who is ingenious and wise, who is accompanied by a friend, and who
knows the intentions of others, as also the proper time and place for doing
everything, can gain over, very easily, even a woman who is very hard to be
obtained.'
Footnotes
1
This term does not apply to a widow, but to a woman who has probably left her husband,
and is living with some other person as a married woman, maritalement, as they say in
France.
2
Any woman fit to be enjoyed without sin. The object of the enjoyment of women is twofold,
viz. pleasure and progeny. Any woman who can be enjoyed without sin for the purpose of
accomplishing either the one or the other of these two objects is a Nayika. The fourth kind
of Nayika which Vatsya admits further on is neither enjoyed for pleasure or for progeny, but
merely for accomplishing some special purpose in hand. The word Nayika is retained as a
technical term throughout.
