Chapter 8 · Marks of Men and Women
पुरुषस्त्रीलक्षणम्
सुनीलकेशी तन्वङ्गी विलोमाङ्गी मनोहरा ।समभूमिस्पृशौ पादौ संहतौ च तथा स्तनौ ॥ २ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 244, verse 2.
She has very dark hair, a slender body, a body free of hair, and is charming. Her feet touch the ground evenly, and her breasts are close together.
Simple meaning: Good signs are very dark hair, a slender body, even feet and breasts set close together.
नाभिः प्रदक्षिणावर्ता गुह्यमश्वत्थपत्रवत् ।
Good signs are a right-turning navel, hidden ankles and a thumb-sized navel.
जठरं न प्रलम्बं च रोमरूक्षा न शोभना ।
Her belly does not hang. Rough body hair and a name from a star, tree or river are not good.
न लोलुपा न दुर्भाषा शुभा देवादिपूजिता ।
A good woman is not greedy or sharp-tongued, has cheeks like madhuka flowers, and is not veiny or hairy.
