Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
संचलन्त्यां धराधूलिधारा यदाराजमार्गेऽबलायां बलादुच्छलेत् ।पांसुला सा कुलानां त्रयं सत्वरंनाशयित्वा खलैर्मोदते सर्वदा ॥ ७ ॥
A woman may walk along the king's road, and a stream of dust may rise hard from the ground. The old texts link this with a risk of quick harm to three families. They also link it with her always keeping company with harsh people.
Simple meaning: Dust rising hard as a woman walks is linked with harm to three families.
यस्या अन्योन्यमारूढाः पादांगुल्यो भवन्ति चेत् ।
Toes lying one over another are linked with a risk to her husbands and many partners.
कनिष्ठा न स्पृशेद्भूमिं चलन्त्या योषितस्तदा ।
A little toe that does not touch the ground is linked with a risk to the husband.
अनामिका च मध्या च यदि भूमिं न संस्पृशेत् ।
A ring toe off the ground is linked with a risk to two husbands, a middle toe with three.
