शुभाशुभं पुरा गीतं वेदव्यासेन धीमता ।प्रकाश्यते तदेवात्र नारीणामङ्गलक्षणम् ॥ २ ॥
Long ago the wise Vedavyasa spoke of good and not-so-good marks. Those same body marks of women are made clear here.

A soft, even, red, warm sole is linked with the love of a king.

Marks like a lotus, conch, wheel or flag on the foot are linked with marriage to a king.
शूर्पाकारं विवर्णञ्च विशुष्कं परुष तथा ।
A sole shaped like a basket, uneven in colour, dry or rough is linked with hardship.
