Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
याभिरेव वरदो महेश्वरःपूजितः किल पुरा व्रतादिभिः ।पार्वती च परिपूजिता मुदाभक्तियोग विधिना सुवासिनी ॥ १२० ॥
Some women long ago worshipped Shiva, the giver of boons, with vows and other acts. With joy and devotion, by the proper rule, they also worshipped Parvati, the happily married goddess. (What they gain is told in the next verse.)
Simple meaning: Women who worshipped Shiva and Parvati long ago gain good marks, as the next verse says.
भूषितामलविभूषणादिभिः
Women who honoured Parvati and bathed at holy Prayaga are said to be born with good marks.
कृतं नहि तपो यया नगजया समाराधितो
The old text says a woman who did no worship, vows or giving may have a life of hardship.
यतः सुलक्षणी रेखा योषा हीनायुषं पतिम् ।
A woman with good marks and conduct may bring her husband long life and comfort.
