Is this true: "In Hinduism the 'sutra' are concise descriptions of the Brahmanas, the holy scriptures. " ???

Absolutely not true. The sutras are various scriptures, often from separate streams of thought. The are heavily condensed studies, analyses, summaries of Hindu religious streams. --LordSuryaofShropshire 16:19, Apr 29, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Kama Sutra

What is the relationship between the Kama Sutra and the Hindu canon? It is listed in the "other sutras" section, not the Hindu section. Thanks. ntennis 02:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
