Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
यदि भवेदमलं किल कोमलं कमलपृष्ठवदेव मृगीदृशाम् ।अरुणकुंकुमविद्रुमसन्निभं बहुगुणं पदपृष्ठमिति ध्रुवम् ॥ १३ ॥
The top of a woman's foot may be clean and soft, like the back of a lotus. It may be red like saffron or coral. The old texts surely link this with many good things.
Simple meaning: A clean, soft top of the foot, red like saffron or coral, is linked with many good things.
अंघ्रिमध्ये दरिद्रा स्यान्नम्रत्वेन सदाङ्गना ।
A sunken middle of the foot is linked with poverty, many veins with travel, much hair with service.
निर्मांसेन सदा नारी दुर्भगा खलु जायते ।
A foot with little flesh is linked with hardship. Hidden, round ankles without veins are linked with good things.
अगूढौ शिथिलौ यस्यास्तस्या दौर्भाग्यसूचकौ ।
Ankles that show and are slack are linked with hardship.
