In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 243, verse 15.
The four eye-teeth shine like the moon. I tell you about 'four-black': the pupils of the eyes, the eyebrows, the beard and the hair are black.
Simple meaning: Four bright eye-teeth and black pupils, eyebrows, beard and hair are good marks.
नासायां वदने स्वेदे कक्षयोर्वेदगन्धकः ।
Four-smell means smell from the nose, mouth, sweat and armpits. Four-short means a short organ, neck and shins.
सूक्ष्माण्यङ्गुलिपर्वाणि नखकेशद्विजत्वचः ।
Fine finger joints, nails, hair, teeth and skin are good marks. So are long jaws, eyes, forehead, nose and chest span.
वक्षःकक्षौ नखा नासोन्नतं वक्त्रं कृकाटिका ।
High chest, armpits, nails, nose, face and neck are good. Smooth skin, hair, teeth, body hair, look, nails and voice are good.
