Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
वृषभेकवृश्चिकभुजङ्गजम्बुकाःखरकङ्कपत्रशलभाविडालकाः ।यदि वामपाणितलगा भवन्ति चेत्कलहेन सार्द्धमतिरोगकारकाः ॥ ६४ ॥
These shapes may show on the left palm: a bull, a frog, a scorpion, a snake, a jackal. Also a donkey, a heron, a leaf, a locust or a cat. They are linked with quarrels and a risk of much illness. (Our text is unclear here: kankapatra, which may be a heron and a leaf, or a feathered arrow.)
Simple meaning: Marks like these animals on the left palm are linked with quarrels and a risk of illness.
Classical view, not medical advice.
कोमलःसरलोंऽगुष्ठोवर्त्तुलो यदि योषिताम् ।
A soft, straight, round thumb and narrow, long, round fingers are counted as good.
पृष्ठरोमाः शस्तफलाश्चिपिटा उदिताबुधैः ।
Hair on the back of the fingers is good. Narrow, short fingers with bent joints are linked with illness.
अनेकपर्वसंयुक्ता उन्नतांगुलयोऽशुभाः ॥ ६७ ॥
Fingers with many joints, or raised fingers, are not counted as good.
