6.6.18

tasyaiva rāja-vallabhasya kraurya-prabhāvādhikasya tathaivārādhanam ante niṣ:phalaṃ niṣkāsanaṃ ca doṣa-karaṃ so 'n:artho 'n:arthānubandhaḥ.

(f) When a courtezan is kind to any such men as described above, but who in addition are favorites of the King, and moreover cruel and powerful, without any good result in the end, and with a chance of her being turned away at any moment, this loss is called a loss of wealth attended by other losses.

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