दशमोऽध्यायः
मदान्धा कुटिलस्कन्धा स्थूलस्कन्धा च तादृशी ।यदि लोमाकुलस्कन्धा वैधव्यं द्रुतमावहेत् ॥ ४८ ॥
The old texts link crooked shoulders with strong pride, and thick shoulders the same. If the shoulders are covered with hair, there is a risk of early widowhood.
Simple meaning: Hairy shoulders are linked with a risk of early widowhood.
स्रस्तांसा संहतांसा च धन्या भवति कामिनी ।
Drooping or close shoulder-tops are linked with good fortune. High ones are linked with a risk of widowhood.
अङ्गुष्ठाङ्गुलिकं युग्मं यत्पद्मकलिकासमम् ।
Thumbs and fingers like a lotus bud are linked with many comforts.
करतलं भुजयोर्यदि कोमलं
Soft, lotus-like palms are linked with her husband's love.
