Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
पृष्ठरोमाः शस्तफलाश्चिपिटा उदिताबुधैः ।कृशाः कुंचितपर्वाणो ह्रस्वा रोगभयावहाः ॥ ६६ ॥
The wise say fingers with hair on the back give good results. Narrow, short fingers with bent joints are linked with a risk of illness. (Our text is unclear here: whether flat fingers are counted as good or not.)
Simple meaning: Hair on the back of the fingers is good. Narrow, short fingers with bent joints are linked with illness.
Classical view, not medical advice.
अनेकपर्वसंयुक्ता उन्नतांगुलयोऽशुभाः ॥ ६७ ॥
Fingers with many joints, or raised fingers, are not counted as good.
शंखशुक्तिनिभा निम्ना विवर्णा न नखाः शुभाः ।
Shell-like, sunken or discoloured nails are not good. Tawny, bent or rough nails are linked with lost comfort.
यदि भवन्ति नखेषु मृगीदृशां
A few white spots on a woman's nails are linked with strong desire and a relationship outside marriage.
