Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
घटाकारं यस्या भवति च मृदङ्गेन सदृशंयवाकारं दैवादुदरमहितं पुत्ररहितम् ।अभद्रं नो भद्रं तदपि यदि कुष्माण्डसदृशंनिरुक्तं तत्त्वज्ञैः कठिनमुरुशालेन च समम् ॥ ३८ ॥
A belly shaped like a pot, like a drum or like a barley grain is not favoured. By fate it is linked with a risk of having no sons. A belly like a pumpkin is also called not good. The wise say the same of a hard belly, and of one like a large sal tree. (Our text is unclear here: the comparison urushala, read as a large sal tree.)
Simple meaning: A belly shaped like a pot, drum, barley grain or pumpkin is linked with a risk of having no sons.
कृशतरा त्रिवली सरलावली
Three slender belly folds with a straight line are linked with gentle play and fun.
लोमहीनहृदयं यदा भवेन्नि
A chest with no hair or hollow is linked with comforts, then a risk of parting from a loved one.
उद्भिन्नरोमहृदया स्वपतिं निहन्ति
Hair standing out on the chest is linked with a risk to her husband's life. An 18-finger chest brings happiness.
