6.6.15

anyārthaparigrahe saktād āyaticchedanam arthasya niṣkramaṇaṃ lokavidviṣṭasya vā nīcasya gamanam āyatighnam artho 'narthānubandhaḥ//

(c) When a courtezan receives money from other people besides her lover, the results are: the chance of the loss of future good from her present lover; the chance of disaffection of a man securely attached to her; the hatred of all; and the chance of a union with some low person tending to destroy her future good. This gain is called a gain of wealth attended by losses.

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