6.6.17
kadaryasya subhagamāninaḥ kṛtaghnasya vātisaṃdhānaśīlasya svair api vyayais tathārādhanam ante niṣphalaṃ so 'nartho niranubandhaḥ//
(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.
