Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
निर्मांसं कुटिलाकारं रूक्षं वैधव्यसूचकम् ।अतिस्थूलं महादीर्घं सद्यो दौर्भाग्यवर्द्धकम् ॥ ३१ ॥
The lower belly may have little flesh, be crooked or be dry. The old texts link this with a risk of widowhood. A very large and very long one is linked with hardship that grows quickly.
Simple meaning: A lower belly with little flesh, crooked or dry is linked with widowhood. Very large, with hardship.
मृदुला विपुला वस्तिः शोभना च समुन्नता ।

पृथूदरी यदा नारी सूते पुत्रान्बहूनपि ।
