It therefore has a practical orientation, similar to that of Arthashastra, the tradition of texts on politics and government. Just as the former instructs kings and ministers about government, Kāmashastra aims to instruct the townsman (nāgarika) in the way to attain enjoyment and fulfillment. During the 8th century BC, Shvetaketu, son of Uddalaka, produced a work too vast to be accessible. A scholar called Babhravya, together with a group of his disciples, produced a summary of Shvetaketu's summary, which nonetheless remained a huge and encyclopaedic tome. Between the 3rd and 1st centuries BC, several authors reproduced different parts of the Babhravya group's work in various specialist treatises. Among the authors, those whose names are known are Charayana, Ghotakamukha, Gonardiya, Gonikaputra, Suvarnanabha, and Dattaka; Smaradipika,Kadambara Swekarana Sutram,Panchasayaka,Ratimanjare,RatiratnapradepikaRatikalloleni,Shringara Saprabandha Dipika,Kamatantra Kavyam:-Kamashastr ke adhyayan ka prayojan, Ratyanand varnan, Asan prayog ke avastha ER -
