बृहत्संहिता (आचार्य वराहमिहिर - स्थापत्य, खगोल, मौसम व जल विज्ञान)

Adh. LXVIII. Sl. 30-34.] अष्टषष्टितमोऽध्यायः 549'
विषमैर्विषमो जत्रुभिरर्थविहीनोऽस्थिग्रन्धिपरिणद्धैः ।
उन्नतजत्रुर्भागी निम्नैनिःस्वोऽर्थवान् पीनैः ॥३०॥
Sloka 30.—One who has undulating collar bones be-
comes cruel; with many bony knots or joints, poor;
raised ones, enjoys pleasures; sunken ones, poor; and
stout ones, wealthy.
चिपिटग्रीवो निःस्वः शुष्का सशिरा च यस्य वा ग्रीवा ।
महिषग्रीवः शूरः शस्त्रान्तो वृषसमग्रीवः ॥३१॥
कम्बुग्रीवो राजा प्रलम्बकण्ठः प्रभक्षणो भवति ।
पृष्ठमभग्नमरोमशमर्थवतामशुभदमतोऽन्यत् ॥३२॥
Slokas 31-32.—One is penniless with a neck flat or
dry (without flesh) and full of veins; heroic with one like
that of a buffalo; meets with one's end by weapons with
a neck similar to that of a bull; a king with one having
three folds or lines: a spend-thrift (glutton?) with one
hanging (long?) one. Men become wealthy with their
back, not split and without hair; and miserable with
one of contrary characteristics.
अस्वेदनपीनोन्नतसुगन्धसमरोमसङ्कुलाः कक्षाः ।
विज्ञातव्या धनिनामतोऽन्यथार्थैर्विहीनानाम् ॥३३॥
Sloka 33.—Men with arm-pits, not perspiring,
plump, raised, good-smelling, even and hairy are to be
known as wealthy; otherwise, as penniless.
निर्मांसौ रोमचितौ भग्नावल्पौ च निर्धनस्यांसौ ।
विपुलावव्युच्छिन्नौ सुश्लिष्टौ सौख्यवीर्यवताम् ॥३४॥
Sloka 34.—A poor man has shoulders full of hair,
split, small and without flesh, while those who possess
happiness and valour have shoulders, that are large un-
split and compact.
