Kama Sutra - Part One
Chapter Two: The Three Aims of Life
1

life, a man must pursue the three aims successively, without one being
prejudicial to another.
During
the first three periods of his life, a man must realize himself on three

[kama], harmonizing them in such a way that none is prejudicial to the others.
