sanskrit
A courtesan may even accept to have intercourse for very little money, if it is a question of taking another girl's lover, preventing him from setting up house with her, stealing the permanent lover of another or appropriating another's profits, separating her from a potential lover by appropriating him, widening her relations through her amorous contacts, or else, to have his assistance in the spiteful actions she has in mind, to induce another's steady lover to behave badly: considering everything he has done for her in the past, the courtesan willingly accepts him for a small sum.
