Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
कनिष्ठा न स्पृशेद्भूमिं चलन्त्या योषितस्तदा ।सा द्रुतं स्वपतिं हत्वा जारेण रमते पुनः ॥ ९ ॥
As a woman walks, her little toe may not touch the ground. The old texts link this with a risk to her husband's life soon. They say she may later have a relationship outside marriage.
Simple meaning: 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.
यदि पादनखाः स्निग्धा वर्तुलाश्च समुन्नताः ।
Smooth, round, raised, copper-coloured toenails are linked with a comfortable and enjoyable life.
