Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
यतः सुलक्षणी रेखा योषा हीनायुषं पतिम् ।दीर्घायुषं सुचरितैः प्रकरोति सुखास्पदम् ॥ १२३ ॥
A woman with good marks and lines may make a husband of short life long-lived, by her good conduct. She gives him a home of comfort.
Simple meaning: A woman with good marks and conduct may bring her husband long life and comfort.
दीर्घायुषं पतिं हन्ति कुयोगैश्च कुलक्षणैः ।
Bad chart combinations and such marks may risk a husband's life. So the wise marry a girl with good marks.
कुलक्षणविलक्षिता यदि सुताऽत्रसंजायते
For such a girl the old text advises a Monday vow and a private first rite with a sacred tree.
शुभेऽहनि कुमारिकाकरनिपीडनं कारये
Then she can be married on a lucky day to a long-lived groom, and this is no fault.
