[this is still a little rough I think, but I figured I'd toss it out
for comments]
[somehow I lost my "master" for chapter 1 after I translated it, so I
had to go back and make a new one, it's possible that there are some
discrepancies here or there]

By publishing the various chapters separately, they lost the overall
concept and, due to its length, the text of Babhravyas was difficult
to study, which is why Vatsyayana summarized the great work and
composed the Kama Sutra.

Thus the text has sixty-four sections, in thirty-four chapters, in
seven books, consisting of 1,250 passages/verses.[b]
24.ghItlh ngajmoHta'.
ghItlh SachmoHchoHmo', maS valwI'pu'.
Now that it has been summarized, it will be described in detail, since
wise men like to have things told in both a contracted and an expanded
form.
9a "shorten" was the closest I could think of to "summarize", but it
really doesn't give the same meaning as the English word. I could also
use "clip", which might give a Klingon a better idea of what's going
on, since Klingons do clip their sentences.
10a I chose <walth> instead of <nIt> because virgins aren't "plain"
10b <parmaq be'> was used in ghIlghameS for "harlot" (if memory serves)
12a I'll discuss this below
12b this one too
14a does this work?
16a the @ indicates a place holder for terms not yet translated. Since
this is basically a table of contents, I've decided to wait on the
bulk of the "title translating" until I know what each section is
about. Translating a word or phrase by itself, won't be as effective
as translating it with the rest of it's text.
16b the / breaks apart the different ways the sections can be referred
to. Due to these differences, as mentioned above, I'll wait to see
what the section actually says.
23a This is tricky. The English gives "passage" or "verse". The
closest I can get is "sentence", which really isn't the same thing.
Especially since the number of Klingon sentences (or English vs
Sanskrit) won't match. Since the verses are numbered, I will have the
correct number of those however.
23b the various texts I'm using vary in their use of "chapter" and
"section" and so forth, [like spatial terms (i.e quadrant, sector) in
TOS] so my use of the terms may also falter, but I'm trying to be
consistent.
