Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
कुलक्षणैः कुयोगैश्च लक्षिता वनिता यदा ।तस्याः पूर्वविधानेन विवाहं कारयेद्बुधः ॥ १२७ ॥
A woman may be marked by marks the old texts link with hardship, and by bad combinations. Then the wise should have her marriage done by the method given before.
Simple meaning: For such a woman the wise should have the marriage done by the method given before.
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.
जीवनाथविदुषात्र कामिनी
Jivanatha says he has made clear the marks of women, drawn from Skanda, Agastya and Vyasa.
