The world's oldest and most widely read guide to the pleasures and techniques of sex, the Kama Sutra was compiled in the fourth century A.D. by a Brahmin and religious scholar name Vatsyayana, who worked from texts dating back to the fourth century B.C. Until the present, the only English translation of his Hindu love classic was that of the famous English explorer Sir Richard Burton, published in 1883.

Unlike Burton's version, Alain Dani lou's new translation preserves the numbered verse divisions of the original and includes two essential commentaries: the Fayamangala commentary, written in Sanskrit by Yashodhara during the Middle Ages, and a modern Hindi commentary by Devadatta Shastri. Whereas Burton's Victorian reluctance to translate certain terms obscured our understanding of the philosophy and techniques of the Kama Sutra, Dani lou has preserved the full explicitness of the original, dealing with everything from the art of scratching to relations with the wives of others.

Realistic and pragmatic in its approach, the Kama Sutra deals without ambiguity or hypocrisy with all aspects of sexual life--including marriage, adultery, prostitution, group sex, sadomasochism, male and female homosexuality, and transvestism. The text paints a fascinating portrait of an India whose openness to sexuality gave rise to a highly developed expression of the erotic.

I absolutely love this throw blanket! From the moment I took it out of the package, I could tell how soft and well-made it was. It’s incredibly cozy without being too heavy, making it perfect for relaxing on the couch, watching TV, or adding an extra layer of warmth to the bed. The material feels high quality and has held up really well after washing—no shedding or fading. It keeps me warm without overheating, which is exactly what I was looking for. I also love how it adds a nice touch to my daughter’s room. The color is beautiful and looks exactly like the pictures, making it both functional and decorative. Overall, this throw blanket is a great value for the price. Comfortable, stylish, and durable—I would definitely recommend it and plan to buy more!

Incredibly Soft and Cozy
Size: Throw (50"W x 60"L), Color: Sage Green, Size: Throw (50"W x 60"L), Color: Sage Green
This blanket is unbelievably soft and fluffy — one of the softest throws I’ve bought from Amazon. It feels very cozy and keeps you surprisingly warm without being overly heavy. Perfect for curling up on the couch or adding extra comfort to a bed. My only small issue was the color. The “sage green” looked much more like a cream or very light neutral in person, so I’m not sure if I received the wrong color. I ended up keeping it anyway because the softness and quality were so good.
