Siva's Rules of Love: Union, Pining, Separation, Quarreling, and Waiting

In Indian mythology, sexual union was ‘invented’ by the ascetic, erotic god Siva; until then, procreation was through a mental process. Vatsyayana's Kamasutra was originally composed by Siva. The authorship of Tantras is ascribed to a divine source, probably Siva. Siva himself wrote some of the earliest Cankam Tamil love poetics and poetry. The first Cankam was headed by Siva himself, and the Rules of Love were written by him.
