Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
अगूढौ शिथिलौ यस्यास्तस्या दौर्भाग्यसूचकौ ।गुल्फलक्षणमाख्यातं पार्ष्णिलक्षणमुच्यते ॥ १६ ॥
Ankles that show and are slack are linked with hardship in her life. The marks of the ankles have been told. Now the marks of the heel are told.
Simple meaning: 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.
जंघे रंभोपमे यस्या रोमहीने च वर्तुले ।
Smooth, round calves without hair, like banana stems, are linked with becoming a queen.
एकरोमा प्रिया राज्ञो द्विरोमा सौख्यभागिनी ।
One hair in each pore is linked with being dear to a king. Two, comfort. Three, a risk of widowhood.
