स्त्रीणां पादतलं स्निग्धं मांसलं मृदुलं समम् । अस्वेदमुष्णमरुणं बहुभोगोचितं स्मृतम्
strīṇāṃ pādatalaṃ snigdhaṃ māṃsalaṃ mṛdulaṃ samam | asvedamuṣṇamaruṇaṃ bahubhogocitaṃ smṛtam
Diz-se que a planta do pé de uma mulher é auspiciosa quando é lustrosa, carnuda, macia e uniforme; sem suor excessivo, quente e avermelhada—apta a abundantes deleites e prosperidade.

Auspiciousness is described through harmony and balance—softness, evenness, and warmth symbolize well-being and favorable destiny.
No particular tīrtha is named in this verse; it remains part of Kāśī-khaṇḍa instruction.
