CHAPITRE III - Intrigues of the women of the harem.

The women of the harem are austerely kept ( guarded ? ) and can see no man (App. 1 and 2). Almost all burn with desires that they satisfy between them, by processes indicated on the subject of the auparishtaka, and by means of which the woman can replace the man [ 46 ].

[ Note 46: the titillation and the suction of nipples, as well as us saw him ( it ? ), determines constantly the erection of the clitoris, and the simultaneous friction of this organ with the strong suction of nipples brings inevitably the cramp _génésique_.]

They still have appeal to the average following ones.

They dress in man their foster sister, their friends and their following ones, and are caressed ( cherished ? ) the yoni by means of soft vegetables (fruits or roots), who have or receive the shape and the dimensions of a linga, either they kiss ( embrace ? ) a statue the linga of which is represented in erection ( App)..

Average opposite are used ( employed ? ) by certain men ( people ? ) (to see in Lucien the insult made by a young man for the Venus of Paros with which he was in love).

Sometimes, and by means of their following ones, the women of the harem introduce men ( people ? ) disguised as woman there. Their foster sisters and their accomplices try hard to decide on men ( people ? ) to come to the harem, by praising them the good fortune which waits for them there; they describe them the inside of the palace, the opportunities to get there and go out of it; they indicate the strong projections of ledges, the big dimensions of porticoes, corridors and exits, carelessness of the sentinels and frequent absences of the guards of the harem. But these emissaries never have to deceive a man to decide on him ( it ? ) to tempt the adventure, because it would pull ( entail ? ) probably the death.

As for the man, he ( it ? ) will well make not get into the harem because of the terrible adversities to which he ( it ? ) exposes ( explains ? ) itself.

If however he ( it ? ) is determined there, he will have to recognize if there is an assured ( insured ? ) exit ( release ? ), if the garden of sailing either a wall of round dance surrounds strictly the harem (App. 1), if the sentinels miss attentiveness and if king went on a journey. In this last case, when he ( it ? ) will be called by the women of the seraglio, he will observe carefully places, and will enter in the way which the women will have indicated him ( her ? ). If he ( it ? ) is skillful and informed, he ( it ? ) will cross ( go through ? ) every day the neighborhood of the harem, will be bound with the sentinels, will be made the friend of cleaners of the seraglio who can have knowledge of its intention and will show them its regret not to be able to execute him ( it ? ).

Finally, he ( it ? ) will take for go-between a woman who has her entrances ( entries ? ) to the harem, and he ( it ? ) will study to know the spies of king.

If the go-between cannot enter the harem, he ( it ? ) will be held in some place where from he can see the woman who he loves.

If this place is kept ( guarded ? ) by sentinels, he ( it ? ) will disguise by taking the suit of a following one of the wished woman, who comes or passes by this place.

When the woman will look at him ( it ? ), he ( it ? ) will make him ( her ? ) his ( its ? ) feelings known by gestures and signs, will show him ( her ? ) drawings with a double meaning, festoons of flowers and rings.

He will observe with a lot of attention the signs which she ( it ? ) makes, her ( its ? ) gestures or her ( its ? ) words; and then he ( it ? ) will try to penetrate into the palace.

If he ( it ? ) is certain that she ( it ? ) comes in some particular place, he ( it ? ) will hide from it, and, at the fixed moment, he ( it ? ) will enter the harem with her, as if it was one of the guards.

He can also enter and go out in a folded bed, or in a coverage of bed, either go ( surrender ? ) _invisible_: for it he just has to rub himself eyes with an obtained eye drops by mixing ( involving ? ) with an equal quantity of water ashes resulting from the combustion, without smoke, from the mongoose, the eyes of a snake and from some fruit of the long gourd tumbi!!!

Duyana, brahmanes and yoguis, still give the other means to make invisible.

The man can also, to enter to the harem, seize the occasion of the holiday of the eighth moon, during which the cleaners of the palace are quite very busy and in confusion.

We introduce young people to the harem, or one them in fact go out, when we bring to it or one in fact go out of the furniture, or during the holidays ( name-days ? ) where we take drinks and refreshments, when the cleaners are extraordinarily occupied and pressed, or when we move one of the wives, or when we lead ( drive ? ) them to public gardens or to holidays ( name-days ? ), either during their return to the palace, or finally when king left for a distant pélerinage.

The women of the harem know mutually their secrets, and as they have quite the same purpose, they help.

A young man who is the lover of all can continue this business very for a long time without being discovered.

To Aparatakas, the wives of king are not well guarded, and the women who have access in the harem introduce with them many young people there.

The royal wives of the country of Ahira are engaged ( surrender ? ) in kshatriyas put in sentinel in the harem.

Those of the country of Vatsagoulmas make, to the harem, by means of messengers, men ( people ? ) come who can please them.

To Vaïdharbas, the sons ( threads ? ) of the royal wives have their entrance ( entry ? ) to the harem and are the lovers of all the wives, excepted ( except ? ) from their mother.

In Stri radjyas, the women of king have for lovers the men ( people ? ) of his ( her;its ? ) caste and his ( her ? ) family.

In the country of Ganda, they give themselves to brahmanes, to their friends, to their servants and slaves.

In Sandhava, to their domestics, kitchen boys, etc.

To Haïmavat, fearless men ( people ? ) corrupt the sentinels and enter the harem.

To Vanyas and Kalmyas, brahmanes, in the known of king, enters the harem with bouquets for the wives, converses with them behind a curtain, and sweet comment cross ( spend ? ) in sweet exercises.

Finally, the women of king of Prashyas hide in the harem a young man for every group of women.
