स्वेन व्ययेन शूरस्य महामात्रस्य प्रभवतो वा लुब्धस्य गमनं निष्फलमपि व्यसनप्रतीकारार्थं महतश्चार्थघ्नस्य निमित्तस्य प्रशमनमायतिजननं वा सोऽनर्थीऽर्थानुबन्धः ।। १६ ।।

sanskrit

Wishing to acquire notoriety by frequenting famous men or ministers at her own expense, sleeping with them will win her nothing, since her outlay is exaggerated. Although her lack of earnings is considerable, she gains in security. This is because there is a relation between advantages and disadvantages.
