Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
यदा गजस्कन्धसमानरूपोभगोऽथवा कच्छपपृष्ठवेषः ।इलापतेः कामविनोददायीवा सोन्नतः सोऽपि सुताजनेता ॥ २४ ॥
A woman's private part may be shaped like an elephant's shoulder or like a tortoise's back. The old texts link this with giving joy in love to a king. A raised one is linked with the birth of children. (Our text is unclear here: suta-janeta can mean daughters or sons.)
Simple meaning: 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.
रोमाकुलो दृष्टनासो विकृतास्यो महाधमः ।
A very hairy private part of uneven shape is said to give little joy in love.
कामिन्याः कम्बुकावर्तो भगो दौर्भाग्यवर्द्धकः ।
A conch-spiral or curved private part is linked with hardship and difficulty in carrying a pregnancy.
