a man, Long lands, big palms and broad chest are the
symbol of Raja yoga . Similarly long eyes, flat
waist, red lips, flat waist, pink colored palms of
woman brings prosperity and riches. Here are
features of women.
Effects of Characteristic Features of Parts of
Woman’s body.
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
Lagna in a female’s horoscope. Now I request you to
favor 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 color, without much perspiration,
will be enjoying full happiness,
befitting her sex. The one, whose soles are without
pink color, 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,
Chakra, 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
color, 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 traveling, 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
Rasis, 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-colored,
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 Rasis 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.

lotus bud, they are auspicious.

they are inauspicious.
42-43. If the palms of the woman are pink-colored,
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-colored, 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

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-colored,
raised and shaped well at the top,
they are auspicious. Depressed, dirty-looking, or

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.

be without flesh, coarse,
long, dry and blackish, it is indicative of misery
and widowhood. If the upper lip of
a woman is pink-colored, 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-colored, fierce looking,
widely spaced and double, they are indicative of
misfortune.

enjoys great happiness and
comforts. Caved in the middle and spread out in
front indicates misery. White
tongue indicates death in water. Dark tongue

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 Rasis. Raised
eyes show short life.
Round eyes denote loose moral character. Honey-colored
