Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
कृशतरा त्रिवली सरलावलीललितनर्मविनोदविवर्द्धिनी ।भवति सा कपिला कुटिलाकुलाशुभकरी विरला महदाकृतिः ॥ ३९ ॥
Three slender belly folds with a straight line add to gentle play and fun. The fold-line may also be tawny, crooked and crowded, sparse, or large in form. The text seems to call this good. (Our text is unclear here: whether the marks in the second half are called good or not good.)
Simple meaning: 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.
उन्नतं पीवरं शस्तं हृदयं वरयोषिताम् ।
A raised, full chest is spoken well of. A sunken one is linked with ill fortune.
