Congress
is of the following kinds: viz. Loving congress; congress of subsequent love;
congress of artificial love; congress of transferred love; congress like that of
eunuchs; deceitful congress; congress of spontaneous love.
1)
When a
man and a woman, who have been in love with each other for some time, come
together with great difficulty, or when one of the two returns from a journey,
or is reconciled after having been separated on account of a quarrel, this
congress is called the ‘loving congress’.
It is carried o according to the liking of the lovers, and as long as
they choose.
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. or when a man and a woman come together, 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 woman, 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 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 courtesan 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 take 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.
