Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
बिलसति भगभाले दक्षिणावर्तरूपःकुवलयनयनायाः कोमलो लोमसंघः ।नरपतिकुलभर्तुः कामिनी मानिनीनामिहभवति वदान्या सैव धन्या विशेषात् ॥ ११७ ॥
A soft curl of hair may turn right and shine at the top of a woman's private region. Then she becomes the dear wife of a king of kings. She is foremost among respected women. She is generous and especially fortunate.
Simple meaning: 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.
याभिरेव वरदो महेश्वरः
Women who worshipped Shiva and Parvati long ago gain good marks, as the next verse says.
