546 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. LXVIII. Sl. 15-19.
मधुगन्धे बहुवित्ता मत्स्यसगन्धे बहून्यपत्यानि ।
तनुशुक्रः स्त्रीजनको मांससगन्धो महाभोगी ॥१५॥
मदिरागन्धे यज्वा क्षार सगन्धे च रेतसि दरिद्रः ।
शीघ्रं मैथुनगामी दीर्घायुरतोऽन्यथाल्पायुः ॥१६॥
Slokas 14-16.—Men with the upper part of the ab-
domen dry without flesh are indigent and disliked by the
people; with their semen having the smell of flowers,
become kings; having the smell of honey, very opulent;
of fish, beget too many children; of flesh, become addicted
to sensual pleasures; of liquor, sacrificers; of salt,
utterly penniless; with thin semen, beget daughters;
those who have too frequent sexual congress (or those
who have orgasm too soon ?), live long; and those who
have it very rarely (whose orgasm takes place very late ?)
are short-lived.
निःस्वोऽतिस्थूलस्फिक् समांसलस्फिक् सुखान्वितो भवति ।
व्याघ्रान्तोऽध्यर्धस्फिङ्मण्डूकस्फिङ्नराधिपतिः ॥१७॥
Sloka 17.—A man with very stout buttocks becomes
poor; with fleshy or muscular ones, happy; with ones of
one and a half the usual size (or with an extra half
buttock), a killer of tigers; and with frog-like ones, a king.
सिंहकटिर्मनुजेन्द्रः कपिकरभकटिर्धनैः परित्यक्तः ।
समजठरा भोगयुता घटापिठरनिभोदरा निःस्वाः ॥१८॥
Sloka 18.—A man with a leonine waist becomes
a king; with one like that of a monkey or camel, is de-
void of wealth; with an even belly, enjoys pleasures;
and with a belly resembling a pot or a frying pan, be-
comes penniless
अविकलपार्श्वा धनिनो निम्नैर्वक्रैश्च भोगसन्त्यक्ताः ।
समकुक्षा भोगाढ्या निम्नाभिर्भोगपरिहीनाः ॥१९॥
