About Women of Royal Harem and About Ways of Keeping One’s Wife
Kings, lords and rich people have many women at their adobes. These women cannot meet other men because they are strictly guarded. These women have unsatisfied desires. The man has different wives and a woman is only one among many. These women pleasure each other.

These women use some fruit, root or vegetable of the shape of lingam to give pleasure to others in her adobe. Similarly men, when they don’t get women will satisfy themselves by embracing the sculptures of women.

If the king is kind enough, he takes certain medications so that he can give pleasure to different women the same night.

The women of such royal harems also get men into their adobes. This is achieved by impersonating a man as woman and getting him into the adobe. This man remains at the harem for many days and give pleasure to the women.

The nurses and their daughters, who are aware of the secrets of the harem women, induce a man to come to the palace and tell him ways of safely entering and leaving the palace. The favorable factors for such men are the large size of the palace and the carelessness of the guards. But the man shall not be induced by telling false stories, as it can lead to his capture and his life will not be safe. The women who get these men into the palace get wonderful gifts from the wives of the kings and lords.

For his own safety, the man shall not enter the royal harem. He should ascertain the doors, hiding places and should get a clear idea about the careless behavior of the sentinels. He should also know when the king visits other countries or about the times the king will not be at the palace.

About Keeping One’s Wife Protected from Other Men

As the custom of meeting wives of other men is common, it is essential to guard one’s wife/wives. The man should get good sentinels, who are not interested in kama and artha (Lust and Wealth). While Babhraveeya directs men to test their women, Vatsyayana is of the opinion that one should never test his wife.

Don’t allow the women to engage freely in the society, don’t let them engage with female beggars and don’t let them engage freely with other men. The man shall also provide everything for the safety and happiness of the women. He shall also not leave the women alone at home for long days. Observing these things can protect the wife from the design of other men.
