Chapter 8 · Marks of Men and Women
पुरुषस्त्रीलक्षणम्
नाभिः प्रदक्षिणावर्ता गुह्यमश्वत्थपत्रवत् ।गुल्फौ निगूढौ मध्येन नाभिरङ्गुष्ठमानिका ॥ ३ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 244, verse 3.
Her navel turns to the right. Her private part is like a peepal leaf. Her ankles are hidden. In the middle, her navel is as big as a thumb.
Simple meaning: 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.
न संहतभ्रूकुटिला पतिप्राणा पतिप्रिया ।
Brows that do not meet are good. The verse says a little toe off the ground means death.
