I shall now describe in brief the prominent character¬ istic features of men and women, O Sankara. If the palms are soft like the inner portion of a lotus and do not perspire. If the fingers are close together; if the nails are copper-coloured, if the ankles are well shaped and free from protruding nerves: if the feet are •plump and shaped like the back of a toitoise—the man is bound to become a king.
