Chapter XIII<br />

Meditation on the Vamadevya Saman<br />

A man's beckoning to a woman is the syllable Him; his<br />

gratifying her is the Prastava; his lying with her is the<br />

Pratihara; his spending time with her is the Nidhana; and<br />

the finishing of the sexual act is also the Nidhana. This<br />

is the Vamadevya Saman as interwoven in sexual<br />

intercourse.<br />

He who thus knows the Vamadevya Saman as<br />

interwoven in sexual intercourse does not suffer from<br />

the pang of separation and procreates from every<br />

intercourse; he reaches the full length of life, lives<br />

brightly, becomes great in children and cattle, great in<br />

fame. For him the injunction is: "Do not reject a<br />

woman who comes to you seeking intercourse".<br />
