Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
निर्मांसा विनता दीर्घा चिपिटा शकटाकृतिः ।लघ्वी रोमाकुला नार्य्या वैधव्यं दिशते कटिः ॥ २२ ॥
A woman's waist may have little flesh, or be bent, long or flat. The old texts link this with a risk of widowhood. So also a waist shaped like a cart, small, or covered with hair.
Simple meaning: 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.
अश्वत्थदलरूपो वा भगो गूढमणिः शुभः ।
Shapes like a peepal leaf, a small stove or a deer's hoof are linked with good things.
