Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Kāmasaṃvedana (कामसंवेदन) refers to “matters relating to carnality”, according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, “[...] Wise men speak of that wife as a wife who has auspicious marks and who knows the fine arts, who is clever, who is loved by her husband, and who is young and modest. [...] Wealth is obtained by virtue; from wealth emanate desires, and the fulfilment of all desires can be obtained by means of a good wife alone and of nobody else. Therefore, a loving wife is the best fruit of the tree of virtue. Therefore one should by all means try to keep her in good humour by giving up wilfulness in matters relating to carnality (kāmasaṃvedana) [svacchandācaraṇaṃ hitvā kāmasaṃvedanādiṣu]. [...]”.
