Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
व्यक्तस्वस्तिकरेखयाकुलमलं नार्योललाटस्थलंसौभाग्यामलभोगकृत्तदलिकं लम्बायमानं यदि ।अद्धा देवरमाशु हन्ति नितरां रोमाकुलं रोगदंरेखाहीनमनङ्गभङ्गजनकं ज्ञेयं बुधैः सर्वदा ॥ १०२ ॥
A woman's forehead full of clear swastika lines brings good fortune and clean enjoyment. If the forehead hangs down, there may soon be a risk to her husband's younger brother. A forehead covered with hair may bring illness. A forehead without lines may bring a break in the joy of love. The wise should always know this.
Simple meaning: Clear swastika lines on the forehead bring good fortune. A drooping, hairy or lineless forehead is linked with hardship.
Classical view, not medical advice.

Wavy hair like a swarm of bees brings good fortune. Sparse, tawny or rough hair is linked with sorrow.
