Chapter 10 · A Woman's Body Marks
दशमोऽध्यायः
रोमहीनैश्च विरलैर्लम्बितैः कपिलैरपि ।पक्ष्मभिः स्थूलकेशैश्च कामिनी परगामिनी ॥ ९७ ॥
Eyelashes may have no hair in places, or be sparse, drooping, tawny or thick-haired. The old texts link these with a woman who may have a relationship outside marriage.
Simple meaning: The old texts link some kinds of eyelashes with a relationship outside marriage.
वर्त्तुला कोमला श्यामा भ्रूर्यदा धनुराकृतिः ।
A round, soft, bow-shaped brow is linked with joy in love.
पिङ्गा विरला स्थूला सरला मिलिता यदि ।
The old texts do not favour tawny, sparse, thick, joined or wrong-way brows.
प्रलम्बौ वर्त्तुलाकारौ कर्णौ भद्रफलप्रदौ ।
Long and round ears bring good results. Veiny or narrow ears, or ears without the outer fold, are not favoured.
