Chapter 8 · Marks of Men and Women
पुरुषस्त्रीलक्षणम्
अनसूया दया क्षान्तिर्मङ्गलाचारयुक्तता ।शौचं स्पृहा त्वकार्पण्यमनायासश्च शौर्य(शूर)ता ॥ ९ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 243, verse 9.
No envy, kindness, patience, good conduct, purity, eagerness, no meanness, ease without strain, and bravery.
Simple meaning: These are the signs of sattva: no envy, kindness, patience, good conduct, purity, generosity and bravery.
त्रित्रिकस्त्रिप्रलम्बः स्याद्वृषणे भुजयोर्नरः ।
Long-hanging testicles and arms are a good mark. So is spreading strength, fame and fortune far and wide.
व्याप्नोति यस्त्रिकव्यापी त्रिवलीमान्नरस्त्वसौ ।
He who spreads far is called three-spreading. A man with three folds has three rings on the belly.
देवतानां द्विजानां च गुरूणां प्रणतस्तु यः ।
Bowing to gods, brahmins and teachers is three-bowing. Knowing the right time for duty, wealth and desire is the other.
