6.6.42

teṣu sahāyaiḥ saha vimṛśya yato 'rthabhūyiṣṭho 'rthasaṃśayo gurur anarthapraśamo vā tataḥ pravarteta//

A courtezan, having considered all the above things and taken counsel with her friends, should act so as to acquire gain, the chances of great gain, and the warding off of any great disaster. Religious merit and pleasure should also be formed into separate combinations like those of wealth, and then all should be combined with each other, so as to form new combinations.

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