Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
उद्भिन्नरोमहृदया स्वपतिं निहन्तिविस्ताररूपहृदया व्यभिचारिणी स्यात् ।अष्टादशांगुल मितं हृदयं सुखायचेन्द्रोमशं च विषमं न सुखाय किंचित् ॥ ४१ ॥
When hair stands out on a woman's chest, the old texts link it with a risk to her husband's life. A very wide chest is linked with a relationship outside marriage. A chest 18 finger-widths wide is linked with happiness. A chest that is hairy and uneven is linked with no happiness at all.
Simple meaning: 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.
भवत एव समौ सुदृढाविभौ
Even, firm, round breasts are linked with her husband's joy and love.
सुभ्रुवो विरलौ सूक्ष्मौ स्थूलाग्रावहिताविभौ ।
Breasts far apart, small and thick at the tips are not favoured.
