Lālasāsana (लालसासन) refers to one of the sections of the Kokasāra by Ānanda Kavi (dealing with Poetics and Erotics), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—The Kokasāra is a Hindi rewriting of the Kokaśāstra, a famous Sanskrit work of the Kāmaśāstra tradition. [...] The manuscript [of the Kokasāra] ends rather abruptly with the lālasa-āsana. A comparison with the manuscripts described by Hiralal (Twelfth Report) shows that the missing part is not very large.
