Chapter 8 · Body Marks of Rank and Wealth
सामुद्रिकाष्टमोऽध्यायः
मुसलशैलकृपाणहलाङ्कितंकरतलं किल यस्य सवित्तपः ।कुसुममालिकया फलमीदृशंनृपति रेव नृपालभवे यदा ॥ ६ ॥
A palm may be marked with a pestle, a mountain, a sword or a plough. That man becomes a lord of wealth. A garland of flowers gives the same result. If he is born in a royal family, he surely becomes a king.
Simple meaning: Pestle, mountain, sword, plough or flower-garland marks on the palm tend to bring wealth; in a royal family, kingship.
करतलेऽपि च पादतले नृणां
Marks like a horse, lotus, bow, wheel, flag or chariot on the palm or sole show great wealth.
कुम्भःस्तंभो वा तुरङ्गो मृदङ्गः
A pitcher, pillar, horse, drum or tree on the hand or foot shows power and steady wealth.
विशालभालोऽम्बुजपत्रनेत्रः
A wide forehead, lotus-petal eyes, a round head and long arms tend to show a ruler.
