Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
भवति सा विमलाङ्कुशचामरामलशरासनवद्यदि रेखिका ।गुणविभूषितभूपतिवल्लभाकरतले शकटेन विशोऽबला ॥ ६१ ॥
A line may be like a clean goad, a whisk or a bow. It is linked with being loved by a king of good qualities. A cart on the palm may link her with the merchant folk. (Our text is unclear here: the words malasharasana and visho abala at the end.)
Simple meaning: A goad-, whisk- or bow-like line on the palm is linked with being loved by a king.
अंगुष्ठमूलतो रेखा कनिष्ठां यदि गच्छति ।
A line from the thumb base to the little finger is linked with a risk to her husband's life.
यदि करे करवालगदामल
Sword-, mace-, spear-, drum-, deer- or trident-like lines are linked with bringing wealth.
वृषभेकवृश्चिकभुजङ्गजम्बुकाः
Marks like these animals on the left palm are linked with quarrels and a risk of illness.
