6.6.17

kadaryasya subhaga-māninaḥ kṛta-ghnasya vāti:sandhāna-śīlasya svair api vyayais tathārādhanam ante niṣ:phalaṃ so 'n:artho nir:anubandhaḥ.

(e) When a courtezan is kind, even at her own expense, to a man who is very stingy, or to a man proud of his looks, or to an ungrateful man skilled in gaining the heart of others, without any good resulting from these connections to her in the end, this loss is called a loss of wealth not attended by any gain.

Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana
