In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 243, verse 16.
A smell comes from the nose, the mouth, sweat and the two armpits: this is 'four-smell'. The organ, the neck and the two shins should be short: this is 'four-short'.
Simple meaning: 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.
