Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
शूर्पाकारं विवर्णञ्च विशुष्कं परुष तथा ।रुक्षं पादतलं तन्व्या दौर्भाग्यपरिसूचकम् ॥ ५ ॥
A woman's sole may be shaped like a winnowing basket. It may be of uneven colour, very dry, hard or rough. The old texts link this with hardship in life.
Simple meaning: 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.
यस्या अन्योन्यमारूढाः पादांगुल्यो भवन्ति चेत् ।
Toes lying one over another are linked with a risk to her husbands and many partners.
