दशमोऽध्यायः
नासिका तु लघुछिद्रा समवृत्तपुटा शुभा ।स्थूलाग्रा मध्यनम्रा च न शस्ता सुभ्रुवो भवेत् ॥ ८९ ॥
A nose with small holes and round, even nostrils is counted as good. A nose with a thick tip, or one bent in the middle, is not praised for a woman.
Simple meaning: A nose with small holes and even round nostrils is good. A thick tip or bent middle is not praised.
लोहिताग्रा कुंचिता च महावैधव्यकारिणी ।
A red-tipped or curled nose: a strong risk of widowhood. Flat: service to others. Long: quarrels.
रक्तान्ते लोचने भद्रे तदन्तः कृष्णतारके ।
Eyes with red corners, black pupils, white as a conch, soft, with black lashes are good.
अल्पायुरुन्नताक्षी च वृत्ताक्षी कुलटा भवेत् ।
Raised eyes: risk of a short life. Round eyes: a relationship outside marriage. Goat-like, squinting or buffalo-like eyes: hardship.
