Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
समुन्नतनितम्बाढ्या यस्याः सिद्धाङ्गुला कटिः ।सा राजपट्टमहिषी नानालीभिः समावृता ॥ २१ ॥
A woman may have full, raised hips and a waist of a set measure in finger-widths. The old texts link this with her becoming the chief queen of a king. Many women friends may surround her. (Our text is unclear here: the measure 'siddha' finger-widths is not clear.)
Simple meaning: Full, raised hips and a waist of a set measure are linked with becoming a king's chief queen.
निर्मांसा विनता दीर्घा चिपिटा शकटाकृतिः ।
A waist with little flesh, bent, flat, cart-shaped or hairy is linked with a risk of widowhood.
सीमन्तिनीनां यदि चारुबिम्बो
Round, raised, fleshy hips are linked with many joys and joy in love.
यदा गजस्कन्धसमानरूपो
A private part shaped like an elephant's shoulder or tortoise's back is linked with joy in love and children.
