दशमोऽध्यायः
शकटवद्यदि योनि ललाटगोमृगदृशो मृदुलोमगणो भवेत् ।वरदुकूलमणिव्रजमण्डिताक्षितिभृतां वनिता वनितावृता ॥ ११६ ॥
A woman may have a soft, cart-shaped group of hairs on the upper part of the private region. She becomes the wife of kings. She wears fine silk and many jewels, and women attend her.
Simple meaning: A cart-shaped soft curl of hair on the private region is linked with becoming a king's wife.
बिलसति भगभाले दक्षिणावर्तरूपः
A soft, right-turning curl of hair at the private region is linked with being a king's dear wife.
कण्ठावर्ता भवति कुलटा भर्तृहन्त्री कुरूपा
The old text links whorls of hair on the neck, back or belly with hardship in marriage.
सीमन्ते च ललाटे वा कण्ठे वापि नतभ्रुवः ।
A left-turning whorl of hair on the parting, forehead or neck is linked with a risk of widowhood.
