Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
यस्या अन्योन्यमारूढाः पादांगुल्यो भवन्ति चेत् ।सा पतीन्बहुधा हत्वा वारवामा भवेदिह ॥ ८ ॥
A woman's toes may lie one over another. The old texts link this with a risk to the lives of her husbands, more than once. They also link it with a life with many partners.
Simple meaning: 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.
अनामिका च मध्या च यदि हीना प्रजायते ।
Short ring and middle toes are linked with a life without a husband.
