Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
जीवनाथविदुषात्र कामिनीलक्षणं बुधमनोमुदे मया ।स्कन्दकुम्भभवयोर्विवादजंव्यासगीतमखिलं प्रकाशितम् ॥ १२८ ॥
Here I, the learned Jivanatha, have made clear these marks of women, for the joy of wise minds. It all came from the talk between Skanda and Kumbhabhava (Agastya), as sung by Vyasa.
Simple meaning: Jivanatha says he has made clear the marks of women, drawn from Skanda, Agastya and Vyasa.
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.
कुलक्षणैः कुयोगैश्च लक्षिता वनिता यदा ।
For such a woman the wise should have the marriage done by the method given before.
