Fine finger joints, nails, hair, teeth and skin make 'fine in five'. Long in five: the jaws, the eyes, the forehead, the nose and the space between the breasts.
Simple meaning: Fine finger joints, nails, hair, teeth and skin are good marks. So are long jaws, eyes, forehead, nose and chest span.

High chest, armpits, nails, nose, face and neck are good. Smooth skin, hair, teeth, body hair, look, nails and voice are good.
जान्वोरूर्वोश्च पृष्ठस्थवंशौ द्वौ करनासयोः ।
Knees, thighs, back, hands and nose have ridges. The eyes, nostrils, ears, organ, anus and mouth are clean.
जिह्वौष्ठौ तालुनेत्रे तु हस्तपादौ नखास्तथा ।
A red tongue, lips, palate, eyes, hands, feet, nails and other parts are praised.
