पुरुषस्त्रीलक्षणम्
जठरं न प्रलम्बं च रोमरूक्षा न शोभना ।नर्क्षवृक्षनदीनाम्नी न सदा कलहप्रिया ॥ ४ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 244, verse 4.
Her belly does not hang. One with rough body hair is not good. One named after a star, a tree or a river is not good. She is not always fond of quarrels.
Simple meaning: Her belly does not hang. Rough body hair and a name from a star, tree or river are not good.
नाभिः प्रदक्षिणावर्ता गुह्यमश्वत्थपत्रवत् ।
Good signs are a right-turning navel, hidden ankles and a thumb-sized navel.
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.
