'Stage of Love or Stage of the Bodiless One') or Kamaledhiplava (Hindi: कमलेधिप्लव, lit.
'Boat in the Sea of Love') is an ancient Indian Sanskrit text written by Kalyana malla in the 15th or 16th century.
[1][2] The translators of the manuscript stated that its objective[3] is not to encourage wantonness, but simply to prevent the separation of husband and wife.
Ananga Ranga was translated and published in English by the Kama Shastra Society in 1885[6][7] under the editorship of Sir Richard Francis Burton.
After his death, the manuscript of the translation and notes were burnt by his wife Isabel Burton.
