Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
रोमाकुलं गभीरं च निर्मांसं पतिजीवहृत् ।सुभ्रुवः करपृष्ठस्य लक्षणं गदितं बुधैः ॥ ५४ ॥
A back of the hand may have much hair, be deep and have little flesh. This is linked with a risk to her husband's life. So the wise have described the marks on the back of a woman's hand.
Simple meaning: 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.
करतले यदि पद्ममिलापते ।
A lotus mark on the palm is linked with being a loved, honoured wife and a child who rules.
यदा प्रदक्षिणाकारो नद्यावर्तः प्रजायते ।
A right-turning river-whirl mark is linked with being the wife of an emperor.
