4.69

satyaṃ vināśāya parāṅganānāṃ
asatyasārā gaṇikāgaṇaśrīḥ .
satyena veśyā kila dṛṣṭasārā
daridraśālā iva kasya sevyāḥ ..69..

Truth leads to the ruin of wanton women; / the fortune of a throng of courtesans has falsehood as its essence. / If courtesans had their true nature exposed through truth, / who indeed would visit them, any more than houses of the destitute?
