कुम्भःस्तंभो वा तुरङ्गो मृदङ्गःपाणावंघ्रौ वा द्रुमो यस्य पुंसः ।चञ्चद्दण्डोऽखण्डलक्ष्म्यापरीतःकिंवा सोयं पण्डितः शौण्डिको वा ॥ ८ ॥
A man may have a pitcher, a pillar, a horse, a drum or a tree. It is on his hand or foot. He holds a shining staff of power. He is surrounded by wealth that does not break. Or else he is a learned man or a liquor trader.
Simple meaning: 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.
नाभिर्गभीरा सरला च नासा
A deep navel, straight nose, gem-slab chest and soft reddish feet tend to show the best of kings.
राजते करगो यस्य तिलोऽतुलधनप्रदः ।
A mole on the hand brings great wealth. A mole on the sole brings vehicles, wealth and comfort.
