Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
स्वच्छरेखाकुलं भद्रं नो भद्रं हीनरेखया ।अभद्रं रेखया हीनं वैधव्यं चादिरेखया ॥ ५२ ॥
A palm full of clear lines is linked with good fortune. A palm with weak lines is not. A palm with no lines is linked with ill fortune. A risk of widowhood is linked with the first line. (Our text is unclear here: which line adirekha names.)
Simple meaning: A palm with clear lines is linked with good fortune. A palm with no lines is linked with ill fortune.
शिरालं कुरुते निःस्वं नारी करतलं यदि ।
A palm with many veins is linked with little money. A raised back of the hand is spoken well of.
रोमाकुलं गभीरं च निर्मांसं पतिजीवहृत् ।
A hairy, deep back of the hand is linked with a risk to her husband's life.
गभीरा रक्ताभा भवति मृदुला वा स्फुटतरा ।
A deep, clear line on the left hand is linked with much good, a happy marriage and a son.
