7.2.53
dharmam arthaṃ ca kāmaṃ ca pratyayaṃ lokam eva ca/
paśyaty etasya tattvajño na ca rāgāt pravartate//
He who is acquainted with the true principles of this science pays regard to Dharma, Artha, Kama, and to his own experiences, as well as to the teachings of others, and does not act simply on the dictates of his own desire. As for the errors in the science of love which I have mentioned in this work, on my own authority as an author, I have, immediately after mentioning them, carefully censured and prohibited them.
