Maitreya said — O Venerable Sage! I have been fully enlightened by the auspicious and inauspicious effects described by you with reference to the Janma Lagna (Ascendant at birth) in a female's horoscope. Now I request you to favour me with knowledge of auspicious and inauspicious effects with reference to the characteristic features of the various parts of a woman's body. Maharishi Parasara replied — O Brahmin! Now I will tell you what Lord Shiva narrated to Goddess Parvati in this regard.

पराशर बोले- हे मैत्रेय ! जैसा शंकर जी ने कभी पूर्वकाल में पार्वती जी से कहा था, वही शरीरांग लक्षण फल मैं तुम्हें कहता हूँ।
