25)And now for the love postures with which sculptors adorn our temple walls. When a couple make love standing, or leaning against a wall or a pillar, it is called "Sthita" (Steadied).

26)When the woman sits in her lover's cradled hands, her arms around his neck, thighs gripping his waist, her feet pushing back and forth against a wall, it is "Avalambitaka" (Suspended).

27)When, catching and crushing your lover in the cage of your arms, you force her knees apart with yours and sink slowly into her, it is "Dadhyayataka" (Churning Curds).

28)Your wife grips your neck and locks her legs around your waist: this is "Kirti" (Fame) - a posture not described in "Kama Sutra" or "Ratirahasya". Never try it with heavy girls.

29)If you lift your lover by passing your elbows under her knees and gripping her buttocks while she hangs fearfully from your neck, it is "Janukurpara" (the Knee Elbow).

30)Put your arm around her neck and enjoy her as she leans there at her ease. Vatsyayana (the author) answer others who knew the art of love in its great days called this posture "Tala" (the Palm).

31)She stands against the wall, lotus-hands on hips, long, lovely fingers reaching to her navel. Cup her foot in your palm and let your free hand caress your angel's limbs.

32)Her foot pressed to your heart, your arms encircling and supporting her, lean back against the wall and enjoy the lovely girl: this is "Veshta" (the Encircling).

33)If she raises one leg and you catch hold of her little foot, caressing her breasts and telling her how much you love her, it is "Ekapada" (One Foot).

34)If you catch one of her knees firmly in your hand and stand making love with her while her hands explore and caress your body, it is "Tripadam" (the Tripod).

35)When your lover draws up one leg, allowing the heel to nestle just behind your knee, and you make love, embracing her forcefully, it is "Traivikrama" (the Stride).

36)When she leans against a wall, planting her feet as widely apart as possible, and you enter the cave between her thighs, eager for lovemaking, it is "Sammukha" (Face-to-face).
