Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
अंघ्रिमध्ये दरिद्रा स्यान्नम्रत्वेन सदाङ्गना ।शिरालेनाध्वगा नारी दासी लोमाधिकेन सा ॥ १४ ॥
The middle of a woman's foot may be sunken. The old texts link this with poverty all her life. A foot with many veins is linked with much travel. A foot with much hair is linked with working as a servant.
Simple meaning: 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.
समानपार्ष्णिः सुभगा पृथुपार्ष्णिश्च दुर्भगा ।
Even heels, good fortune. Broad heels, hardship. High heels, a relationship outside marriage. Long heels, illness.
