Part 1 |
The lower lip is the place on which the `hidden bite', the swollen bite', and the `point' are made;
again the `swollen bite' and the `coral and the jewel' bite are done on the cheek. Kissing, pressing
with the nails, and biting are the ornaments of the left cheek, and when the word cheek is used it is
to be understood as the left cheek.
Both the `line of points' and the `line of jewels' are to be impressed on the throat, the arm pit, and
the joints of the thighs; but the `line of points' alone is to be impressed on the forehead and the
thighs.
The marking with the nails, and the biting of the following things - an ornament of the forehead, an
ear ornament, a bunch of flowers, a betel leaf, or a tamala leaf, which are worn by, or belong to the
woman that is beloved - are signs of the desire of enjoyment.
Here end the different kinds of biting.
In the affairs of love a man should do such things as are agreeable to the women of different
countries.
The women of the central countries (i.e. between the Ganges and the Jumna) are noble in their
character, not accustomed to disgraceful practices, and dislike pressing the nails and biting.
The women of the Balhika country are gained over by striking.
The women of Avantika are fond of foul pleasures, and have not good manners.
The women of the Maharashtra are fond of practising the sixty-four arts, they utter low and harsh
words, and like to be spoken to in the same way, and have an impetuous desire of enjoyment.
The women of Pataliputra (i.e. the modern Patna) are of the same nature as the women of the
Maharashtra, but show their likings only in secret.
The women of the Dravida country, though they are rubbed and pressed about at the time of sexual
enjoyment, have a slow fall of semen, that is they are very slow in the act of coition.
The women of Vanavasi are moderately passionate, they go through every kind of enjoyment, cover
their bodies, and abuse those who utter low, mean and harsh words.
The women of Avanti hate kissing, marking with the nails, and biting, but they have a fondness for
various kinds of sexual union.
