दशमोऽध्यायः
करतले यदि पद्ममिलापते ।प्रियतमा परमा गरिमावृता ॥नृपमपत्यमलं जनयेदरं ।बलवतामपि मानविमर्दकम् ॥ ५६ ॥
If there is a lotus on her palm, O king, she becomes a most loved wife, full of honour. She may soon bear a child who becomes a king. That child may crush the pride even of the strong.
Simple meaning: 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.
आतपत्रं च कमठः शंखोऽपि यदि वा भवेत् ।
An umbrella, tortoise or conch on the palm is linked with being a king's mother.
यस्या वामकरे रेखा तुलामालोपमा भवेत् ।
A scales- or garland-like line on the left hand is linked with wealth and ornaments.
