Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
सापत्युरनुभद्राख्या मुक्तालङ्कारमण्डिता ।अतिप्रिया सुशीला च वरालीभिः समावृता ॥ ७२ ॥
She is said to bring good to her husband. She wears pearl ornaments. She is very dear and of gentle nature. Good women friends are around her. (Our text is unclear here: the word anubhadra, read as 'bringing good'.)
Simple meaning: A straight, full, raised spine is linked with good for her husband, ornaments, a gentle nature and good friends.
कण्ठो वर्तुलरूपः कमनीयः पीनतायुक्तः ।
A round, full neck four finger-widths long is linked with being dear to her husband.
गुप्तास्थिमांसला ग्रीवा त्रिरेखाभिः समावृता ।
A fleshy neck with hidden bones and three lines is good. The opposite is not.
स्थूलग्रीवा धवत्यक्ता रक्तग्रीवा च दासिका ।
Thick neck: her husband may leave. Red: service to others. Flat: no husband. Short: little wealth.
