1-2. Maitreya said. O Venerable Sage! I have been
fully enlightened by the auspicious and inauspicious
effects, described by you with reference to the Janm
Lagn 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.
3-4. A woman, whose soles are even, smooth, soft,
well developed, warm and shining in pink colour,
without much perspiration, will be enjoying full
happiness, befitting her sex. The one, whose soles
are without pink colour, hard, dry, coarse, uneven,
shaped, like a winnowing basket and bereft of flesh,
will suffer misery.
5-6. The woman, who has marks of conch, Swastika,
Chakr, lotus, flag, fish, umbrella and a long line,
rising upwards in her soles, becomes a queen and
enjoys great happiness and comforts. The one, who
possesses marks, like those of snake, rat and crow,
is bereft of wealth and suffers misery.
7. The girl, whose nails of toes are shining in
pink colour, smooth, raised and round, enjoys great
happiness and comforts. Blackish and torn nails
denotes misery.
8. Raised, full, well developed, smooth and round
great toe indicates happiness. The one, which is
small, irregular in shape and flat, denotes misery.
9. The woman’s toes, which are soft, thick, round
and well developed are considered auspicious. If the
toes are long, she will be of loose morals. Thin
toes indicate poverty.
10-16. Other effects about the toes are, as
under. Short - short life. Short and long and
irregular in shape - procurer and guileful. Flat -
maid-servant. Spaced more than average - bereft of
wealth. Toes, overlapping one over the other - widow
and dependent on others. If dust is thrown up, when
she walks - unchaste and brings defame to all the
three families (her father’s, mother’s and
husband’s). If the smallest toe does not touch the
ground - she will destroy her husband and marry
another; If the middle toe and the one next to it
does not touch the ground - widow. First toe (next
to great toe) longer than the great toe - she will
develop illicit connection with a man before
marriage and will be of loose morals.
17. If the back of the feet of a woman is raised,
without perspiration, soft and smooth, she will
become a queen. If the indications are contrary, she
will be poverty-stricken. She will be fond of
travelling, if the back part of the feet be veined.
Hair on that portion of feet denote, that she will
be a maid servant. If the feet be bony, or without
flesh, she will have a defective sexual organ.
18. If the heels are even, the woman concerned
will have a well formed and desirable sexual organ.
If the heels be stout, she will have a defective
sexual organ. If the heels be high, she will be
unchaste. Long heels indicate misery.
19. Legs (portion below knees). Even, smooth,
evenly shaped, round, without hair, good looking and
without veins showing up are Rashis, that the woman
will be a queen.
20. Round, smooth, firm knees are auspicious
indications. If the knees be bony, the woman
concerned will be of loose moral character. If the
knees be loose, she will be poverty-stricken.
21. If the thighs are round, like the trunk of an
elephant, close to each other, soft and without
hair, the woman concerned will be a queen. If the
thighs are flat and hairy, she will be
poverty-stricken and a widow.
22-23. Waist. Circumference equal to the width of
24 fingers with well developed hips indicate, that
the woman will be fortunate. A waist, which is flat,
long, without flesh, caved in, or hairy, forebodes
widowhood and misery.
24. Raised, fleshy and widespread hips in a woman
are auspicious in effects. If they are contrary,
they indicate inauspiciousness.
25-27. Sexual organ. Hidden clitoris, pink-coloured,
curved, like the back of a tortoise, soft, hairy,
shaped, like the leaf of a Pipal tree and smooth is
highly auspicious. If shaped, like the feet of a
deer, or opening of an oven with hard hair and with
raised clitoris, it indicates evil. If the left side
of the sexual organ of a woman is raised, she will
beget more female children and, if the right side is
raised, more boys. If the organ is shaped, like a
conch, she will be barren.
28. Portion below the navel. A soft, spread out
and slightly raised Vasti is auspicious. Hairy,
veins, showing up and full of lines (folds, or
wrinkles) indicates inauspiciousness.
29. A navel deep with right turns is productive
of good effects. The navel raised, with left turns
and with knots is inauspicious.
30-31. A stomach well spread indicates a well
formed sexual organ and many sons. If the stomach of
a woman resembles that of a frog, her son will
become a king. If a woman has a raised stomach she
will be childless. If the stomach is wrinkled, she
will become an ascetic. If it has circular folds,
she will become a maid-servant.
32. If the portion, covering the ribs, is even,
well developed and soft, auspicious effects may be
expected. It will be inauspicious, if it is raised,
hairy and full of veins.
33. The chest of a woman, which is even and
hairless is auspicious. Wide spread and hairy chest
is inauspicious.
34-36. The breasts of a woman signify good luck,
if they are of equal size, fleshy, round and firm,
but close together. They are unlucky, if they are
thick in front, are not close together and without
flesh. Raised right breast indicates, that she will
have sons. Raised left breast indicates, that she
will have daughters. If the portion, surrounding the
nipples, is round, good-looking and blackish, she
will enjoy good luck. Pressed in and unusually small
breasts indicate bad luck.
37. Shoulders. Even, well built up and without
joints showing up are Rashis of good luck. Raised,
hairy and without flesh are unlucky.
38. The armpits, if soft, with thin hair, well
developed and smooth are auspicious. Those, which
are deep, without flesh, perspiring and with veins,
showing up are inauspicious.
39-40. Arms, in which the bones do not show up
and which are soft jointed, hairless without obvious
veins, straight and round are auspicious. Those
without flesh, hairy, small, with obvious veins and
irregular in shape are inauspicious.
41. If the thumbs of the woman are shaped, like a
lotus bud, they are auspicious. If they are without
flesh and irregular in shape, they are inauspicious.
42-43. If the palms of the woman are pink-coloured,
raised in the middle, with fingers close together
(with no holes between them), soft and have very few
lines, she enjoys happiness and all comforts. If the
palms are full of lines, she will become a widow. If
there are no lines, she will be poverty-stricken. If
the veins show up in the palms, she will live on
alms.
44. If the backs of the hands of a woman are well
built, soft and hairless, she will enjoy auspicious
effects. It will be otherwise, if the backs of the
hands are with veins, showing up, deep and hairy.
45-47. Lines on the palm. A woman enjoys
happiness and all comforts, if there is a clearly
marked, pink-coloured, circular, smooth, full and
deep line (perhaps line of life is meant). If there
is mark of a fish, she will be very lucky. She will
be wealthy with mark of Swastika. She will be a
queen with mark of a lotus. She will be the mother
of a king, if she has marks of conch, umbrella and
tortoise.
48-50. The woman, who has lines, forming the
shapes of a balance, elephant, bull, or horse,
becomes the wife of a businessman. The woman, who
has lines, forming the shape of a house, or Vajra is
lucky and gives birth to a son, who becomes learned
in Shastras. The woman, who has lines, forming the
shapes of a chariot, a plough, or a yoke, becomes
the wife of a farmer. She will become a queen, if
she has lines, forming the shape of Chamar, Ankush,
trident, sword, mace, Shakti, or trumpet.
51-52. If in the palm of a woman there is a line,
which, starting from the root of the thumb goes up
to the root of the little finger, she becomes a
widow. If there are lines, forming the shape of a
crow, a frog, a jackal, a wolf, a scorpion, a snake,
a donkey, a camel and a cat, the woman concerned
suffers misery.
53-54. If the fingers of a woman are tender with
good-looking phalanges, tapering at the end and
without hair, they are considered auspicious. If
they are very small, without flesh, irregular,
widely spaced, with hair and with more than usual
phalanges, or without phalanges, they indicate
misery.
55. If the nails of the fingers are pink-coloured,
raised and shaped well at the top, they are
auspicious. Depressed, dirty-looking, or yellow, or
white-coloured nails, or nails with spots are
inauspicious.
56. If the back of the woman is fleshy and well
developed with flesh, it is auspicious. The back
with hair, irregular in built and with veins showing
up is inauspicious.
57-58. The neck of a woman with three lines
(folds), with bones not obvious, round, well
developed and tender is auspicious. A thick necked
woman becomes a widow. An irregularly built neck
indicates, that the woman concerned will become a
maid-servant. Flat necked woman will be barren. A
woman with a small neck is childless.
59. A straight, well developed, somewhat raised
throat is auspicious. One without flesh, with veins
obvious, with hair and irregular in built is
inauspicious.
60. Pink-coloured, tender and firm chin is
auspicious. A broad chin with hair and clefts is
unlucky.
61. Raised, firm and round cheeks are auspitious.
The ones, which are hard-skinned, depressed and
without flesh are indicative of misfortune.
62. If the mouth of a woman is of normal size,
firm, round, emitting fragrance, smooth and
good-looking, it is indicative of good luck. If
otherwise, it will be inauspicious.
63-65. If the lower lip of a woman is red, like a
lotus, smooth, divided in the middle and good
looking, she becomes a queen. If it be without
flesh, coarse, long, dry and blackish, it is
indicative of misery and widowhood. If the upper lip
of a woman is pink-coloured, smooth and slightly
raised in the middle, it is indicative of happiness
and good fortune. If otherwise, it will be
inauspicious.
66-67. A woman, whose teeth are smooth, milk
white, 32 in number and whose upper and lower teeth,
though equal in size, are slightly raised, will be
lucky. If lower teeth are more in number, are
yellow, or black-coloured, fierce looking, widely
spaced and double, they are indicative of
misfortune.
68-69. If the tongue of a woman is red and soft,
she enjoys great happiness and comforts. Caved in
the middle and spread out in front indicates misery.
White tongue indicates death in water. Dark tongue
indicates quarrelsome nature. Thick tongue denotes
poverty. Long tongue denotes one, who is omnivorous.
Long and broad tongue denotes lunacy.
70-71. Palate red, like lotus, soft and smooth -
good luck, white - widowhood, yellow - ascetism,
black - barrenness, dry - large family.
72. When a woman laughs, if her cheeks are raised
and teeth are not visible, she will be lucky. If it
is otherwise, she will not be lucky.
73-74. If the nose of a woman is evenly round and
has small nostrils, it is auspicious. If the nose is
thick in its front part and flat in the middle, it
is inauspicious. If the tip of the nose is red, or
shrunken, widowhood is indicated. Flat nose
indicates engagement in a menial job. Too small, or
too large nose denotes quarrelsome nature.
75-77. Black pupils with cow’s milk like white
portion of the eye, large and broad, smooth, with
black eyelashes are lucky Rashis. Raised eyes show
short life. Round eyes denote loose moral character.
Honey-coloured eyes indicate good fortune and
happiness. The eyes, like those of a pigeon,
indicate wickedness. Eyes, like those of an
elephant, indicate misery. If the left eye is blind,
adulterous tendency will manifest. Blindness of the
right eye indicates barrenness.
78. A woman with soft, black, compact eyelashes
with thin hair is fortunate. Eyelashes thick,
scattered and with tawny-coloured hair indicate
misery.
79. If the eyebrows of a woman are round, shaped,
like a bow, smooth, black, not joined and with soft
hair, she is blessed with happiness and fame.
80. Ears of a woman long with a round turn
indicate children and happiness. Small, unevenly
shaped, very thin, with veins, showing up, cause her
misery.
81-82. The forehead of a woman without veins,
showing through, without hair, shaped, like a
half-moon, even, with equal to three fingers are
Rashis of a fortunate woman, blessed with husband
and children. Rashi of Swastika on the forehead
denotes a queen. Very long, highly raised and hairy
forehead causes misery.
83. Head of a woman high and round, like that of
an elephant, is indicative of happiness. A head,
which is spread out, flat, big and uneven, indicates
misery.
84-85. The hair of a woman are indicative of good
fortune. If they are soft, black, long, thin and
yellow, they indicate misfortune. But honey-coloured
hair of a fair complexioned woman and black hair of
a dark complexioned woman are also considered
auspicious. Most of the characteristic features,
described in this chapter, apply to men also.
