Auparishtaka

Auparishtaka

The word auparishtaka is a Sanskrit word. It is used several times in the book Kama Sutra by Vatsyayana. It refers to "mouth congress" (Burton 1883). One of the explanations of the term is given as: The acts that are done on the jaghana or middle parts of women, are done in the mouths of these eunuchs, and this is called Auparishtaka. (Burton 1883). According to Burton 1883, auparishtaka can refer to either fellatio or cunnilingus.
