I shall now describe the aqpicious characteristics of men and women as narrated by Samudra (the sage who origi* nally propounded this) by knowing which one can understand the past and future without difficulty. If the feet rarely perspire, have the soles as soft as the inner surface of a lotus, the toes adjoin one another, nails are copper*coloured, have sufficient warmth, are free from protrud* ing nerves, A kgeodsrr penooalicy laid to be the orifinator of flstra Dry, the nails are greyish and the toes are detached too much, the man is destined to be poor. If the feet have the ridges lifted up, the man is destined to be a wanderer; if the feet arc reddish brown, The man brings about split in the family; if they are darulike the man may slay even a brahmin. If both the calves are of equal length and have soft sparsely grown hair, The thighs are like the trunk of an elephant and the knees are fleshy and even, the man is destined to be a king.
