Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
गभीरा दक्षिणावर्ता नाभी भोगविवर्द्धिनी ।व्यक्तग्रंथिः समुत्ताना वामावर्त्ता न शोभना ॥ ३३ ॥
A navel that is deep and turns to the right adds to comforts. Three kinds are not favoured: a navel whose knot shows, a raised and shallow one, and one turning left.
Simple meaning: A deep navel turning right is linked with comfort. A raised one or one turning left is not favoured.
पृथूदरी यदा नारी सूते पुत्रान्बहूनपि ।
A broad belly is linked with many sons. A frog-like belly is linked with sons who rule.
उन्नतेनोदरेणैव वन्ध्या नारी प्रजायते ।
A raised belly is linked with some difficulty in having children.
आवर्तेन युतेनैव दासिका भवति ध्रुवम् ।
A whirl on the belly is linked with a life of service. Soft, even sides are linked with good fortune.
