Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
मशकोऽपि कपोलमध्यगामीसुदृशो लोहित एवमिष्टदः स्यात् ।हृदयं तिलकेन शोभितंलसनेनापि च राज्यकारणम् ॥ १०७ ॥
A red mole in the middle of a woman's cheek gives wished-for results. A chest marked with a tilaka spot, and with lasana too, is a cause of rank and power. (Our text is unclear here: the word lasana may mean a shining mark or name another kind of mark.)
Simple meaning: A red mole on the cheek gives wished-for results. A tilaka spot on the chest is linked with rank.

A red spot on the breast area is linked with four daughters and three sons.
भवति वामकुचेऽरुणलांछनं
A red mark on the left breast is linked with a fine first son, then a risk of widowhood.
लसति बालमधुव्रतसन्निभं
A bee-like spot to the right of the anus is linked with a king's wife and a royal son.
