Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
सुभ्रुवो विरलौ सूक्ष्मौ स्थूलाग्रावहिताविभौ ।पयोधरौ तदा नार्य्याः प्रभवेद्दक्षिणोन्नतः ॥ ४४ ॥
A woman's breasts that are far apart, small and thick at the tips are not favoured. If her right breast is higher, the rule goes on in verse 45. (Our text is unclear here: the word ibhau, which may compare them to an elephant's brow.)
Simple meaning: 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.
पुत्रिणी विनतस्कन्धा ह्रस्वस्कन्धा सुखप्रदा ।
Bent shoulders are linked with sons. Short shoulders are linked with comfort.
