दशमोऽध्यायः
कमलकम्बुरथध्वजचक्रवत्पृथुलमीनविमानवितानवत् ।भवति लक्ष्म पदे यदि योषितांक्षितिभृतां वनिता विभुतावृता ॥ ४ ॥
A woman may have a mark on her foot like a lotus, conch, chariot, flag or wheel. It may be like a big fish, a palace in the sky or a canopy. The old texts link this with marriage to a king. They link it with power and wealth around her.
Simple meaning: Marks like a lotus, conch, wheel or flag on the foot are linked with marriage to a king.
शूर्पाकारं विवर्णञ्च विशुष्कं परुष तथा ।
A sole shaped like a basket, uneven in colour, dry or rough is linked with hardship.
यस्याः समुन्नताङ्गुष्ठो वर्तुलोऽतुलसौख्यदः ।
A raised, round big toe is linked with great comfort. Basket-shaped toenails are linked with some sorrow.
संचलन्त्यां धराधूलिधारा यदा
Dust rising hard as a woman walks is linked with harm to three families.
