Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
उन्नतेनोदरेणैव वन्ध्या नारी प्रजायते ।जठरेण कठोरेण सा भवेद्भिन्दुकाङ्गना ॥ ३५ ॥
The old texts link a raised belly with a risk that the woman finds it hard to have children. They link a hard belly with a word, bhindukangana, that we cannot read. (Our text is unclear here: the word bhindukangana, whose meaning is not clear.)
Simple meaning: 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.
विशिरेण मृदुत्वचा सपुत्रा
A soft belly with no veins showing is linked with sons, comforts and sweet food each day.
घटाकारं यस्या भवति च मृदङ्गेन सदृशं
A belly shaped like a pot, drum, barley grain or pumpkin is linked with a risk of having no sons.
