¹ अभिरभ्युच्छ्रिता वेश्या शीलरूपगुणान्विता। लभते गणिकाशब्दं स्थानं च जनसंसदि ॥ पूजिता सा सदा राज्ञा गुणवद्भिश्‍च संस्तुता। प्रार्थनीयाऽभिगम्या च लक्ष्यभूता च जायते ॥ योगज्ञा राजपुत्रां च महामात्रसुता तथा। सह्ररान्तःपुरमपि स्ववशे कुरुते पतिम् ॥ तथा पतिवियोगे च व्यसनं दारुणं गता। देशान्तरेऽपि विद्याभिः सा सुखेनैव जीवति ॥ नरः कलासु कुशलो वाचालश्‍चाटुकारकः। असंस्तुतोऽपि नारीणां चित्तमाश्वेव विन्दति ॥ कलानां ग्रहणादेव सौभाग्यमुपजायते। देशकालौ त्वपेक्ष्यासां प्रयोगः सम्भवेन्न वा ॥ —(*Kāma-sūtra*, Chap. III).
