Sutra of Vātsyāyana (Part One, Ch:5)

The Song of Songs (1:5)
The Song of Songs (1:5)
“How
beautiful your sandaled feet...
Your
graceful legs are like jewels, the work of an artist’s hands.
Your
navel /vulva is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine
Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by

Your

How beautiful you are and how pleasing,
my love, with your delights! Your stature is
like that of the palm...”
