°­Äå³¾²¹±¹²¹Å›²¹ (कामवà¤�) refers to the “control of desireâ€�, according to the GuhyasÅ«tra chapter 3.—Accordingly, “[...] If one torments the body with rain, cold and heat, â€�, devoted to recitation and meditation, this is called the Great Observance. A woman skilled in the pleasures of love-making, endowed with beauty and youth; such a woman one should procure, holding one’s senses back from the objects of the senses, and one should kiss and embrace [her], placing the penis upon her sex while remaining focussed upon recitation and meditation—one performs [thus] the Sword-Blade Observance. If one should succumb to the control of desire (°ìÄå³¾²¹±¹²¹Å›²¹), then one certainly falls into hell. [...]â€�.
