पापयुक्ते व्रणस्तस्मिन्नंगे लक्ष्म च तद्युते । स्वर्क्षांशे स्थिरयुक्ते तु नैज आगंतुकोऽन्यथा ॥ ९४ ॥
pāpayukte vraṇastasminnaṃge lakṣma ca tadyute | svarkṣāṃśe sthirayukte tu naija āgaṃtuko'nyathā || 94 ||
పాపసూచక లక్షణం కలిగిన అవయవంలో గాయం ఉండి, దానితో పాటు దేహచిహ్నం కూడా కనబడితే—అది స్వనక్షత్రాంశంలో స్థిరయోగంతో కూడినప్పుడు ‘నైజం’; లేకపోతే ‘ఆగంతుకం’గా భావించాలి।
