दशमोऽध्यायः
वर्त्तुला कोमला श्यामा भ्रूर्यदा धनुराकृतिः ।अनङ्गरङ्गजननी विज्ञेया मृदुलोमशा ॥ ९८ ॥
A brow may be round, soft, deep in colour and shaped like a bow, with soft fine hair. Know that it brings the joy of love.
Simple meaning: 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.
उन्नतस्त्र्यंगुलो भालः कोमलश्च नतभ्रुवाम् ।
A raised, soft forehead like a half-moon is linked with good fortune in marriage and good health.
