Kamasutra.pdf -

To understand the Kama Sutra , one must first situate it within the doctrine of the purusharthas , or the four aims of human existence: dharma (righteousness/duty), artha (wealth/political power), kama (pleasure/love), and moksha (liberation). Vatsyayana argues that a balanced life requires the harmonious pursuit of the first three, with the fourth being the ultimate goal of existence.
