Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
भवत एव समौ सुदृढाविभौयदि घनौ सुदृशस्तुपयोधरौ ।निजपतेरनिशं परिवर्त्तुलौकुसुमवाणविनोदविवर्द्धकौ ॥ ४३ ॥
A woman's breasts may be even, very firm and close together. If they are also round, they add to her husband's joy and love-play at all times. (Our text is unclear here: the word ibhau, which may compare them to an elephant's brow.)
Simple meaning: 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.
पुत्रदोप्यथ कन्यादो यदा वामोन्नतो भवेत् ।
A higher right breast is linked with sons. A higher left one is linked with daughters.
मूले स्थूलौ क्रमकृशावग्रे तीक्ष्णौ पयोधरौ ।
These breasts are linked with comfort early in life and sorrow later.
